6.4.5 Bus Vector Connect
Along with the method described in 6.4.4 Wiring to a Bus on page 6-25, you can also use
the
Bus Vector Connect command. This is the preferred method for placing numerous
connections from a multi-pinned device, such as an IC, to a bus.
The following example details the connection of an IC to a bus. However, the
Bus Vector Connect functionality can be used to connect any multi-pin device to a bus.
In Busline bus wiring mode
To connect a device to a bus in Busline bus wiring mode:
1. Place the component that you wish to connect to the bus on the workspace.
2. Place a bus on the workspace as described in 6.4.1 Placing a Bus on page 6-18.
For best results, position the bus so that
it is at right-angles to the pins to be
connected. Also, the bus should be long
enough to comfortably accomodate the
number of connections.
