Assign Bussed Signal Names Dialog

The Assign Bussed Signal Names Dialog wizard allows the user to combine multiple signals from the

SnapShot Debugger view’s

”Monitor Channels” table into a bus. After configuring the bus in the dialog, the

bus name and indices are propagated to all the selected signals, changing the signal names appropriately.
The bus/signal names will then be used in the SnapShot sampled output, visible in the

VCD Waveform

Editor

.
