Correct Answer(s)
A. Drag a Signal Snake component from the Layout section of the Schematic Library.
B. Click a pin or pins, drag a wire away, but press Spacebar before releasing the mouse button.
Explanation
To create a Signal Snake, you can drag a Signal Snake component from the Layout section of the Schematic Library. Additionally, you can click a pin or pins, drag a wire away, but press the Spacebar before releasing the mouse button. Double-clicking on a pin is not a method to create a Signal Snake.
33.
True/False
Signal Snake pins can only be connected to other Signal Snake pins.
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
Signal Snake pins can only be connected to other Signal Snake pins because they are specifically designed to transmit signals between compatible devices. These pins are not compatible with other types of connectors or pins, so they cannot be connected to them. Connecting Signal Snake pins to non-compatible pins could result in signal loss or damage to the devices. Therefore, it is true that Signal Snake pins can only be connected to other Signal Snake pins.

Explanation
To add an additional page to your 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. These options allow you to easily add a new page to your Schematic. Clicking anywhere in the Schematic and pressing Ctrl+A does not add an additional page, so it is not a correct option.
35.
True/False
If 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 Schematic Page forever. It simply closes the page or removes it from the current view, but the page can be reopened or restored later.

Multiple Choice
If 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, the pins will be assigned Signal Names with an incremental number added to the end. This means that each pin will have a unique Signal Name, but with a number added to differentiate them. 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 organization of the pins.

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 correct answer provides a clear and concise description of the image. It states that the outputs of an Audio Player component are connected in a traditional manner to a Signal Snake, which is terminated elsewhere with the Signal Name "Source One." This suggests that the audio signals from the Audio Player are being routed through the Signal Snake and labeled as "Source One" at the termination point.
41.
True/False
To 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 restrict the user to create only one wire at a time when using the Traditional Wiring method. Therefore, the given statement is false.
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
When a Signal Name is terminated, it means that the pathway that the Signal Name represents is complete and functional. This indicates that the signal can travel along the designated path without any interruptions or issues. It does not imply that the Signal Name needs to be connected to another pin or that it has been deleted by the Design Inspector.
43.
Multiple Choice
Which 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. Signal Snake is a wiring method that allows collapsing multiple inputs into a single graphical wire in a schematic. This wire can then be expanded elsewhere in the schematic, making it easier to manage and understand complex wiring connections. This method helps to simplify the schematic and improve readability.

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 labels assigned to signals that allow them to be connected across different pages. Signal Snakes are visual representations of signals that can be drawn between components on different pages to show their connection. Traditional Wiring, on the other hand, refers to physical wiring and is not applicable for connecting components on different Schematic Pages.
