[Description of each area]

(1)	Device pin list area

This area displays the “device pin list” for entering information on the pins of the microcontroller.

The device pin list in this area is organized in the order the pins were grouped into peripheral functions.

(a)	First layer

The following are the columns comprising the device pin list.

Macro Name	Displays the name of the peripheral function.
Total	Displays the total number of pins assigned to the peripheral function.
Used	Displays the total number of pins for which the purpose has been set.
Used in Other Macro	Displays the total number of pins for which the purpose has been set by other peripheral functions.

(a)	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.
External Parts	This area is for selecting which external peripheral controller to connect the pin to.

Remark 1.

You cannot add information in the “Macro Name”, “Total”, “Used”, “Used by other function”, “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.
