External User Signals view

This view allows the user to define a custom description of the signals. An External User Signal has a defined unique ID within the table, pins to which it is connected, and any amount of additional text information. All of it can be customized.

Connecting to a pin(s) can be done from a context menu of the selected signal. Multiple pins can be connected to the signal as well as multiple signals can be connected to the pin. When some signals are defined, the External User Signals column is added to the Pins view. The connection between pins and signals can be also done from there.

Additional columns can be specified using the table header context menu.

The button with the Routing Details view icon can be used to add routed pins to the table or to display columns from Routing Details view in the External User Signals view.

The Add Routed Pins option collects routed pins from all functional groups and adds them to the table when they are not already present. A new signal is created for each added pin.

Select Routing Details Columns to open a dialog with Routing Details columns. The selected columns will be displayed in the table. Those columns are read-only and they always reflect actual values in the Routing Details view for all functional groups.

When needed, External User Signals can be also exported to CSV and then imported to another configuration. Merging of signals is not supported so when some signals are defined for the configuration, they are replaced by imported signals.
