 Signal Path Identifier

The Signal Path Identifier provides a temporary color-coded identification of all signal paths (Lines) which are associated with a selected Line Object. Signal Path Identifier is represented by a thin dashed red line for audio signals, yellow for video signals and dashed yellow and red for an audio and video stream. 

 

Additionally, lines between HDCP-capable blocks will be highlighted with a purple "shadow." However, the Signal Path Identifier color may be changed in Application Settings. More information related to HDCP may be found here: HDCP Management. 

When using Signal Path Identifier on a compiled design, propagation delay will appear in the Status Bar. Persistent Signal Path Identifier is available in Normal Mode (follows subsequent line selections), Locked Mode (remains on original line selection), or Off (temporary selection). If the selected Line Object includes an identifying line label (see Line Properties Menu), that text will be temporarily imposed on all lines being indicated by Signal Path Identifier. 

  

Note: Network connections, such as an AVB audio link, are shown as a blue dashed line. Video connections, in contrast to audio connections, represent their AVB network connections with a standard white connector line. 

  

  

Logic Signal Path Identifier

Logic paths and states can be reviewed by right clicking a Logic Node and enabling Signal Path Identifier. See the Logic Simulation section of the Screen Elements, Lines, and Labeling page for additional information.
