Adding Implementation Casts to a Connection Automatically

You can also add an implementation cast to all connecting lines (data paths) of arithmetical values via the context menu.

Note

This is not the case for connections with other operators than +, -, *, /, abs, neg, max, min, and mux, connections to logical elements or control flow connecting lines.

  1. Select the connection you want to add an implementation cast to.

  2. Right-click the connection and select Add Implementation Cast from the context menu.

    The Adding Implementation Cast window opens.

  3. Select <new implementation cast> or an existing implementation cast from the list and click OK.

    The implementation cast is added to the connection. If you selected <new implementation cast>, a new implementation cast is created.

The implementation casts are named automatically in accordance with the following scheme.

impl_cast_<n>

<n> is the number of the implementation cast. The first implementation cast created automatically on a connection is not assigned a number, the second one is assigned the number 1, further implementation casts created automatically on any connections are then numbered accordingly.

This scheme applies to all implementation casts which were not created automatically for an operator (see Adding Implementation Casts to Operators Automatically).
