The main purpose of signals is to allow the user to name the pins used
by beans with names corresponding to his application. A signal name can be
assigned to an allocated pin in the bean properties (available in ADVANCED
view mode).
Processor Expert automatically generates a document {projectname}_SIGNALS.txt
or {projectname}_SIGNALS.doc containing a list of relationship
between defined signals and corresponding pins and vice versa. There is an
additional signal direction information added next to each signal name and
pin number information next to each pin name. This document can be found
in the Documentation folder of the Project Panel.
