Probe

Found in Wiring Library

A probe displays the value of a signal. It is mainly intended for debugging, by showing the value carried by some wire or output from some other component. Probes do not affect the functioning of a circuit in any way.

Ports

Each probe has a single input port. The signal at this port is displayed by the probe. As a convenience, a probe automatically adjusts the width of it's port to match whatever it is connected to.

Keyboard Shortcuts

• Arrow keys change the Facing property.
• Arrow keys while holding the option key (⌥) or Alt key change the Label Location property.

Properties

Facing

The side where the port should be.

Label

Text to be associated with the component.

Label Location

Location of the label relative to the component.

Label Font

Font for the label.

Radix

The number base used for displaying values.

Poke Tool Behavior

None - probes do not respond to being poked.

FPGA Synthesis

Probe components are silently ignored during FPGA synthesis.
