Nets with Possible Connection Problems – Цепи с потенциальными проблемами соединений
This document is no longer available beyond version 21.0. Information can now be found here: Nets with possible connection problems for version 24
Parent category: Violations Associated with Nets
Default report mode:
Summary
This violation occurs when two objects connected to each other on the same net have mismatched electrical types that could lead to problematic connectivity. The pair of object types considered by this error check can be any combination of pins, ports, or sheet entries. For example, an Output Port
connected to a Bidirectional Port
.
Notification
If compiler errors and warnings are enabled for display on the schematic (enabled on the Schematic - Compiler page of the Preferences dialog), an offending object will display a colored squiggle beneath it. Hovering over the object will display a pop-up hint that summarizes the violation. A notification is also displayed in the Messages panel in the following format:
<NetName> contains <
ObjectType1> and
<ObjectType2> objects (<
Reference>)
where:
- NetName is the name of the parent net containing the possible conflicting objects.
- ObjectType1 is the first offending object type.
- ObjectType2 is the second offending object type.
- Reference is the identifier for one or both objects (e.g.,
Port PortName
,Pin PinName
,and Sheet Entry
SheetSymbolName-SheetEntryName
).
Recommendation for Resolution
With the violation selected in the Messages panel, use the Details region of the panel to cross-probe to the offending objects. Determine if the connected objects pose a real connectivity problem and, if so, change the I/O specification for one or both objects accordingly.
Tips
- The actual report mode used for a violation of this type is dependent on the specific object types, their electrical I/O types, and the corresponding reporting level defined on the Connection Matrix tab of the Options for Project dialog (Project » Project Options).
- The Report Mode setting on the Error Reporting tab of the Options for Project dialog has no affect on the Report Mode setting that appears for a violation of this type in the Messages panel. It is, however, used by the Online (real-time) error reporting, directly within the design workspace. Controls for the Online reporting are available on the Schematic - Compiler page of the Preferences dialog. Note that the Online error reporting for a specific object type-I/O type pairing will not be present if the individual check for that combination in the Connection Matrix has been set to
No Report
. - Object hints will only appear provided the Enable Connectivity Insight option is enabled on the System - Design Insight page of the Preferences dialog. Use the controls associated with the Object Hints entry in the Connectivity Insight Options region of the page to determine the launch style for such hints (Mouse Hover and/or Alt+Double Click).
