Connector Refinement and Signal Mapping

Mating the Cavities of the Two Halves of an Inline Connector

You can use a signal map to mate the cavities of the two halves of an inline pair (either generalized connectors or specialized connectors).

Procedure

Select either half of the inline pair in the Diagram Window or Design Browser (Design tab) and either:Right-click the selected object and choose Signal Map.

Press Space Bar and enter Signal Map.

The Signal Map Dialog Box for Inline displays.

On the Cavity Matings tab, each row represents a mating of cavities from each inline half (either Generalized Connectors or Specialized Connectors). In the Cavity columns, specify the cavities that you want to mate. Either:Click the table cell and select an existing cavity name from the drop-down list. If the selected cavity is used in another cavity mating row, the previous value from the row being edited moves to that row.

Enter a new name for the cavity and press Enter; the old cavity name is updated to the new name wherever used in this table. Not possible if the connector has a library part.

When all cavities are mated correctly, click OK.
