[Description of each area]

(1)	Device pin list area

This area displays the device pin list for entering information on the pins connected to external peripheral parts.

Note that items in this area's device pin list are sorted by groups at the external peripheral controller level.

(a)	First layer

The following are the columns comprising the device pin list.

External Peripheral

Displays the name of the external peripheral controller.

To change the name, select this field and then press the [F2] key.

Total

Displays the total number of pins allocated for connection with the microcontroller.

(b)	Second layer

The following are the columns comprising the device pin list.

Pin Number	Displays the pin number of the pin.
Pin Name	Displays the pin name of the pin.
Function	This area allows you to select which function to use when the pin has more than one functions.
I/O	This area allows you to select the I/O mode of the pin.
N-ch	This area allows you to select which output mode to apply when using the pin in the output mode.
Define Name	This area allows you to assign a user-defined pin name to the pin. Within 256 characters can be entered in the [Define Name].
Description	Displays the summary of function of the pin.
Recommend Connection for Unused	Displays instructions on how to handle the pin when it is not used. This column displays information only when the Free is selected in the Function column.
Attention	Displays the precaution on using the pin.

Remark 1.

You cannot add information in the External Peripheral Name, Connected Pins, Pin Number, Pin Name, Description, Recommend Connection for Unused and Attention columns because they contain fixed information.

Remark 2.

If the Free in the Function column is changed to a specific pin name, color of the corresponding pin in the Device Top View panel changes from the color representing the unused pins to the color representing the used pins selected by clicking [Device Top View Settings] tab >> [Color] in the Property panel.

Remark 3.

To move columns (change the display order) in the device pin list, drag and drop the desired column to the desired location.

Remark 4.

To add the user's own column, use the New Column dialog box which opens by pressing the [New Column...] button in the Column Chooser dialog box which opens by pressing the button in the upper left corner of the device pin list.
