Interfacing a Signal with

a Highway

This topic details how to interface (connect) a signal with a highway.

When doing this, you create Highway/Signal Interfaces and signals are used as a Design Wide Object (that is, they are non-shared but have multiple instances).

Prerequisites

• The highway must exist. See Adding a Highway.

Procedure

1. Create the first interface (entrance/exit point) between the signal and the highway.To do this, use the normal functionality for adding the relevant type of signal to initiate the add action (for example, Add Signal). While adding the signal place one end on the highway; an instance of the signal is created in the diagram and is listed under the highway and under Signals in the Design Browser Window.

2. If required, create a second interface (entrance/exit point) between the signal and the highway.To do this, double-click the signal in the Design Browser Window and add the second instance to the diagram, placing one end at the appropriate point on the highway. Note You can also move or stretch the end of a signal to a point on the highway; this will create an interface between them.

Results

• The signal is listed under the highway in the Design Browser Window.
