Append a Signal Suffix

This function uses the Signal Suffix, which is a two-character suffix you can append
to any output signal(s), to facilitate such things as signal tracking.
Select Edit | Preferences and choose the General tab. Under Append Suffix Setup
there are five key combinations available for use, allowing you to set shortcuts for
five different signal suffixes; you can then track five different signals.
Programmers might want to set Alt-1 to enable a signal suffix such as "-fb", which
when appended to a particular signal would indicate the signal is used to provide
feedback, and would allow you to know the path taken by that signal.
How to Append Suffix
1. Select Edit | Preferences and choose the General tab.
2. Use the Append Suffix Setup box to set the particular suffixes you want
to append to your signal names (Crestron recommends that each suffix
consist of two or more characters, and be preceded by a minus sign.
Each should follow the format "-xx").
3. Close the "SIMPL Windows Preferences" dialog box.

4. In Detail View, Select the signal(s) to which you want to append a
particular suffix.
5. Press the particular Alt combination required to enable the specific
suffix you wish to append to the selected signal(s).
NOTE: Append Suffix applies to all signals. However, it is usually used with output
signals to indicate that they have passed through a gate.
