Call this function to specify the label of the pin.

Parameters

Return Value

If the pin label is set correctly it returns true otherwise it returns false.

Remarks

The label assigned to a pin is displayed instead of the pin name when the pin name is set to invisible. Assign a value to the pin label only if the name to be displayed on the symbol is different from the actual name of the pin: for example in IEEE symbols.

Single Pin

Specify the label of the pin.

Pin of a Multi-Part Component

Multipart components are those components that contain several equal parts represented by the same symbol. For example, the 74LS00 component is a multi-part component because it contains four two-input NAND ports. For this type of component can be used as a symbol the NAND port where for each pin you must specify, separating them with commas, the numbers and names that the pin assumes for each part.

For example, for component 74LS00:

in the Number field you must indicate: (1,4,9,12) for input A, (2,5,10,13) for input B and (3,6,8,11) for output Y
in the Name field you must indicate: (1A,2A,3A,4A) for input A, (1B,2B,3B,4B) for input B and (1Y,2Y,3Y,4Y) for output Y

Pin with bus functionality

A pin with bus functionality represents a group of pins with a single graphic symbol. This type of pin allows you to create simplified symbols in which all pins corresponding to data or address lines are represented with a single pin. To specify that a pin has Bus functionality you must tick the option As Bus.

In the Number field you must specify, separating them with commas, the numbers of all the pins belonging to the bus and in the Name field you must report, in the same order, the names.

For example, for component 27C64:

in field number you must indicate: 11,12,13,15,16,17,18,19
in the name field you must indicate: D0,D1,D2,D3,D4,D5,D6,D7

Multiple pins

A multiple pin represents with a single graphic symbol a group of pins with the same electrical function and the same name. For example, some components have multiple ground line terminals (GND) that are internally short-circuited. To specify a multiple pin, check the Multiple pin option.

In the Number field you have to specify, separating them with commas, the numbers of all the pins and in the Name field you have to specify the name.
