Generating Daisy Chains

You can use the “Connect Indicators with Daisy Chain” action to connect multiple multicore / overbraid indicators in a daisy chain and consolidate multiple shield terminations into one.

Prerequisites

• Two or more indicators are selected on the diagram.

• The indicators selected are in the same orientation (horizontal or vertical). Note You cannot use the “Connect Indicators with Daisy Chain” action to connect indicators that have different orientations.

• Only one indicator per multicore / overbraid is selected.

Video

This video demonstrates how to add a daisy chain manually and how to use the “Connect Indicators with Daisy Chain” action:

Procedure

1. Select multiple multicore / overbraid indicators in accordance with the prerequisite rules.

2. Right-click and select Connect Indicators with Daisy Chain.

Results

• All selected multicore / overbraid indicators are connected in a daisy chain.

• If the selected multicore / overbraid indicators had multiple shield terminations that were connected to the same device pin they are consolidated into a single shield termination, with the shortest shield termination being preserved.

Examples

In the example in Figure 119, three indicators have been selected to be connected in a daisy chain. They are all individually shielded to a multi termination on device DEV1297. When the “Connect Indicators with Daisy Chain” action is run the indicators are connected in a daisy chain and the three shield terminations are consolidated into one, as shown in Figure 120.
