Connection Tool

Design Pad G4 provides two signal wiring tools to correct connection errors: a Connection tool and a Signal Segment Zap tool. The Connection tool provides a means to connect and disconnect signals from operator I/O pins. To disconnect a signal from a pin, position the cursor over the pin, press (and hold down) the left mouse button, and drag the wire off the pin. (Of course, the Connection tool should be active as you do this.) You should notice that as you remove the wire from the pin, the pin joint changes to an unfilled circle. To reconnect the signal to another I/O pin, continue to drag the wire until the cursor is positioned over the pin, the release the left mouse button. You should notice that the pin joint of the newly connected pin has changed to a filled-in circle:

Signal Segment Zap Tool


 
The Signal Segment Zap tool provides a means to remove signal wire segments. To "zap" part of a signal wire, activate the Signal Segment Zap tool, position the cursor over the segment you would like to remove, and click the left mouse button. If you are interested in removing an entire signal, rather than a single segment, you can select the signal (use the Selection tool) and press the DELETE key on your keyboard. (Alternatively, you could choose the Delete item from the Edit menu.)
