12.
Multiple Choice:If you rename the Core, what character cannot start or end its new name?
Correct Answer
A. A HypHen
Explanation
If you rename the Core, a hyphen cannot start or end its new name. A hyphen is used as a punctuation mark to join words or parts of words together. It is not allowed to be used at the beginning or the end of a word. Therefore, if you rename the Core and include a hyphen, it should be placed in the middle of the new name.
13.
Multiple Choice:What field would you change in a Core’s Properties panel to indicate that it will have a Backup Core?
Correct Answer
C. “Is Redundant”
Explanation
In the Core's Properties panel, the field that would be changed to indicate that it will have a Backup Core is "Is Redundant". This field is likely used to specify whether the core is redundant or not, implying that it has a backup core. The other options, "Backup Active" and "Secondary Protocol", do not directly indicate that the core will have a backup core.

Choose all that apply.How can you add an additional page to your Schematic? Check all that apply.
Correct Answer(s)
A. Click the Plus symbol at the top right side of the Schematic.
B. Click the Plus symbol next to the Schematic Pages title in the Left-Side Pane.
Explanation
To add an additional page to the Schematic, you can click the Plus symbol at the top right side of the Schematic or click the Plus symbol next to the Schematic Pages title in the Left-Side Pane. Clicking the Plus symbol at the top right side of the Schematic allows you to easily add a new page, while clicking the Plus symbol next to the Schematic Pages title in the Left-Side Pane provides an alternative method to add a new page. Clicking anywhere in the Schematic and pressing Ctrl+A does not add an additional page, so it is not a correct answer.
35.
True/FalseIf you click on the X on the tab of your page in the Schematic, that Schematic Page will be deleted forever.
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation
Clicking on the X on the tab of a page in the Schematic does not delete the page forever. It simply closes the tab and removes it from the current view. The page can still be accessed and reopened by navigating to the appropriate location or using the available options within the Schematic software. Therefore, the statement "If you click on the X on the tab of your page in the Schematic, that Schematic Page will be deleted forever" is false.
36.
Multiple ChoiceIf you highlight multiple pins and begin to enter a Signal Name, what will happen?
Correct Answer
B. The pins will be assigned Signal Names with an incremental number added to the end.
Explanation
When you highlight multiple pins and begin to enter a Signal Name, each pin will be assigned a Signal Name with an incremental number added to the end. This means that each pin will have a unique Signal Name, but with a number that increases sequentially. For example, if you enter "Signal" as the name, the pins will be assigned names like "Signal1", "Signal2", "Signal3", and so on. This allows for easy identification and differentiation of the pins within the circuit.

How can you connect two Signal Snakes together? Check all that apply.
Correct Answer(s)
A. Traditional Wiring
C. Signal Names
Explanation
To connect two Signal Snakes together, traditional wiring can be used. This involves connecting the wires of one Signal Snake to the corresponding wires of the other Signal Snake. Additionally, Signal Names can also be used to connect the two Signal Snakes. Signal Names are identifiers assigned to specific signals, and by matching the Signal Names of the two Signal Snakes, they can be connected together.
38.
Multiple Choice
How have these two components been wired together?
Correct Answer
A. Traditional Wiring
Explanation
The two components, Traditional Wiring and Signal Snakes, have been wired together using the method of Traditional Wiring. This implies that the connection between the components follows the conventional approach of physically connecting wires and cables to establish the desired electrical connections. Signal Snakes may be used as a means to transmit signals between the components, but the overall wiring method employed is Traditional Wiring.
39.
Multiple Choice
How have these two components been wired together?
Correct Answer
C. Signal Names
Explanation
The two components, Traditional Wiring and Signal Snakes, have been wired together using Signal Names. This means that instead of physically connecting the components, they are connected through the use of signal names or labels. This allows for a more organized and efficient wiring system, as it simplifies the process of identifying and connecting different signals between components.
40.
Multiple Choice
Which sentence best describes this image?
Correct Answer
A. An Audio Player component’s outputs are wired traditionally to a Signal Snake, which is terminated elsewhere with the Signal Name “Source One.”
Explanation
The image shows an Audio Player component's outputs being connected to a Signal Snake, which is terminated elsewhere with the Signal Name "Source One." This means that the audio signals from the Audio Player are being sent through the Signal Snake and ultimately connected to a source labeled "Source One" in another location.
41.
True/FalseTo ensure proper wiring, the Designer software will only allow you to create one wire at a time when using the Traditional Wiring method.
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation
The Designer software does not limit the user to creating only one wire at a time when using the Traditional Wiring method. This means that multiple wires can be created simultaneously, allowing for more efficient and convenient wiring processes.
42.
Multiple Choice
What does it mean to say that a Signal Name is terminated?
Correct Answer
C. The pathway that the Signal Name represents is complete and functional.
Explanation
To say that a Signal Name is terminated means that the pathway that the Signal Name represents is complete and functional. This indicates that the signal has reached its intended destination without any interruptions or errors. It implies that the signal has been successfully transmitted and received, ensuring proper communication between the connected pins or components.
43.
Multiple ChoiceWhich wiring method involves collapsing multiple inputs into a single graphical wire that can be expanded elsewhere in the Schematic?
Correct Answer
B. Signal Snake
Explanation
The correct answer is "Signal Snake." In schematic diagrams, a signal snake is a wiring method that allows multiple inputs to be collapsed into a single graphical wire. This wire can then be expanded elsewhere in the schematic to show the individual connections. It simplifies the diagram and makes it easier to understand the overall circuit layout.
44.
Choose all that apply.Which methods of wiring can be used to connect components that span different Schematic Pages?
Correct Answer(s)
B. Signal Names
C. Signal Snakes
Explanation
Signal Names and Signal Snakes can be used to connect components that span different Schematic Pages. Signal Names are used to label the signals and connect them across different pages, ensuring that the correct signals are connected. Signal Snakes are a visual representation of the signal path and can be used to show the connection between components on different pages. Traditional Wiring, on the other hand, is not suitable for connecting components across different pages as it does not provide a clear and organized way to label and trace the connections.
