Can VirtualBench Digital I/O be added to buses?

[SansPants]

I want to use DIO as additional IO for logic analyzer.  These DIO appear as available "lines" under the Digital configuration menu, but seem to be unavailable from being added to buses.

Can DIO be added to buses?

I'm running VirtualBench 16.1.0f0.

Thanks!

Hi SansPants,

Can you explain what you mean by adding DIO to buses. Additionally, Here is a document outlining DIO in greater detail.

All the Best,

Hi Noah,

Thanks for responding.

Under the Digital/Lines the DIO lines appear:

But under the Digital/Buses tab, the Digital I/O do not appear in the Available signal window:

In my case, my address bus width exceeded the 34 IO available on the Mictor Cable interface (P/N: 157192A-01), so I assigned these to Digital I/O.  The VirtualBench appears unable to include the DIO pins in "Buses" allowing easy decoding of the address.

Best regards
