I am trying to find a happy medium for things such as layout viewing,
small simulations and schematic creation. I have tinkered with
Electric for a couple of years and really like it a great deal. I have
spent several hours over the last day trying to figure out the use of
busses. I can correctly create them and 'rip' signals from them for my
scats. However I cannot seem to figure out how to use them in
simulations. Say for the sake of simplicity I want to create a
schematic of eight invertors all of which receive their input from one
of the eight wide bus's signals. I draw the invertors...good. Now
what? The bus must start somewhere although it can terminate in
space. How do I do this? So far I have tried drawing a buffer and
starting the bus from there but what is the input to the buffer? I
tried making it a bus as well but whan I try to simulate the beast I
get complaints that I am using more signals than the buffer has
ports. Pardon me if this doesn't make sense. I have minimal experience
with bus use and sometimes the questions are hard to form. Perhaps
someone could provide me a simple example that is simulatable so I can
model after that?
