A signal name can be assigned to an allocated pin by specifying the signal name into the appropriate property (for example, Pin_signal) in the Component Properties (available in Advanced view mode). Signal name is an identifier that must start with a letter and rest of the name must contain only letters, numbers, and underscore characters.
For the components that allocate a whole port, such as ByteIO, there are two options:
- Assign a same signal name to all pins of port by writing the name into the Port signal property. Processor Expert automatically assigns this name extended with a bit number suffix to each of the individual pins.
- Assign a different signal names to individual pins by writing pin signal names (from the lowest bit to the highest one) separated by commas or spaces into the Port signal property.
