UCI Layer Controller
Use the UCI Layer Controller to show or hide individual layers in a specified UCI and page.
- Drag the UCI Layer Controller component into your schematic.
- Select the component and configure its Properties. See Properties.
- Press F5 to save your design to the Core and run it. (Or, press F6 to emulate your design.)
- In your schematic, double-click the component to open its control panel.
- For each UCI layer, configure a Transition type. See Controls.
- Click a layer's Show button to show or hide the layer in the UCI.
Inputs and Outputs
Control components do not have traditional input and output pins. If a Control Pin is available for the component, an input or output will appear.
Control Pins represent the controls available in the component's Control Panel. Control Pins are used to link controls between Schematic Elements, and link to / from Control Scripts. Control Pin signal pins are represented by a square, and the wiring is represented by a thick blue / white line.
In this example, there are three UCI layers installed. Any of these layers can be transitioned on or off the screen by choosing the Transition type.
Tip: For additional properties not listed, refer to the Properties Panel help topic for more information.
