Problem Title:
Foundation Schematic: How to control output slew rate


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description: How can I set certain outputs to be
FAST or SLOW slew rate on a Foundation schematic?


Solution 1:

If left unspecified, all outputs will default to SLOW slew
rate.

To specify the slew rate to be FAST, do the following:

1. Double-click on the OPAD you wish to make FAST

2. In the "Parameters" section of the Symbol Properties
    Dialog box, find the box labeled 'Name:'. Type FAST in
    this box.

    The FAST attribute only requires a Name, and does not
    require a Description.

3. You will now see FAST= in the box which lists all the
    parameters. The number of dots next to the attribute
    determines what is displayed on the schematic. Double-
    clicking on the parameter (FAST=) will change the number
    of dots.

    One dot: The Description only will show on schematic.
    Two dots: Both the Name and Description will show.
    No dots: Neither Name nor Description will show.
