Adding a Backshell Termination to a Connector

If you are working with backshells in Capital Systems Integrator, you must create any required backshell terminations on slot connectors, inline connectors and interface connectors before synthesizing wiring.

See Backshells and Backshell Terminations for more information about backshell terminations and the possible design flows for working with them.

Procedure

  1. Right-click on the connector or its backshell in the diagram window or in the Design Browser (Design tab) and choose the Add Backshell Termination option from the pop-up menu. Alternatively, click the connector or its backshell, press Space Bar, and enter Backshell Termination.

  2. The backshell termination is listed under the backshell in the Design Browser (Design tab). If no backshell was on the connector, one is created and the termination is listed under it.
