The connections within a net can be defined on the net definition point. The net will not be complete until all connection points have been connected. If a net has more than one daisy chain, these must also be interconnected in order to create a complete net.
Preconditions:
- You have opened a project. You have opened a project page in the graphical editor.
- You have inserted a net definition point.
- Select the net definition point in the graphical editor and then select the popup menu item Properties.
- In the Properties <...> dialog, select the Net connections tab.
The Connection points table displays all the connection points in the net. - Select the Create daisy chain popup menu item.
- Click the connection point at which the daisy chain is to begin.
The connection point is shown in the Connections table. - Click in sequence on the other connection points that are to be included in the daisy chain.
The connection points in the daisy chain are shown in the Connections table. - Select the End daisy chain popup menu item.
A horizontal line is added to the Connections table to indicate that the daisy chain is complete. - Select the Create daisy chain popup menu item again to define a further daisy chain.
- Consecutively click the starting connection point and then the other connection points that are to be included in the daisy chain.
The connections are displayed in the Connections table. - Select the End daisy chain popup menu item.
- Click [Apply] to save the defined daisy chains.
Tip:
You can create a new daisy chain by double-clicking a connection point in the Connection points table in the Net connections tab. This also ends an already started daisy chain.
