Problem Title:
PROwave:  Viewing an arbitrary set of signals as a bus in the waveform
window



Problem Description:
Vectors must be made in PROsim for all busses and sets of arbitrary signals
that you would like to view as busses in PROwave.


Solution 1:

To view a set of signals as a bus in PROwave perform the following steps:

1)  In PROsim, create a vector for the set of signals that you would like
    to view as a bus in PROwave.  The generic syntax is as follows:

     vector <vector_name> <list_of_signals>

     Example #1:  vector abus a[3:0]

     Example #2:  vector abus a3 a2 a1 a0

     Example #3:  vector arb a3 load enable a2

2)  To add the vector to the waveform file, execute the wave command.
    The generic syntax is a follows:

     wave <design>.wfm <list_of_signals_and_vectors>

     Example #1:  wave calc.wfm abus

     Example #2:  wave calc.wfm a[3:0]

     Example #3:  wave calc.wfm arb a3 a2 a[1:0] abus

3)  Open the waveform file in PROwave.
