Signal Map for a Slot

When you have placed devices in a slot, the connected signals travel to/from pins on the devices via connector cavities and holes. The signal map for a slot enables you to perform various actions to edit the mapping of the signals to those objects.

In some cases (for example, fuse boxes), a signal may need to map from a single pin to a cavity on more than one connector.

A hole can house one or several different wires and, unlike a connector, does not have cavities. A hole connection cannot be changed if the logical device specifies the Hole attribute (whether originally from the library part or not). If you are working with a relay design flow, the Signal Map dialog box takes into account the Pin Group attribute on the pins. If no Pin Group attribute is specified for a pin, you can create an explicit mapping of a signal to a hole or change the mapping between a connector/cavity and a hole.

The signal map for a slot enables you to perform the following actions:

• Map signals and wires to connector cavities in the slot. Mapping a Signal to a Hole or Slot Connector Cavity on a Slot

Mapping a Signal to Multiple Slot Connector Cavities on a Slot

• Create, delete and edit variant connectors, variant signals, and variant wires. Creating a Variant Connector in the Signal Map for a Slot, Inline or Interface Connector
