pdaBBconnect

Defines a connection between a port on one BB instance to a port on another BB instance
The connection is "direct" in the sense that for the actual (mask) layout the two BBs are abutted - so the ports of both BBs connect exactly.
In a schematic view this is not needed, a (not optically / electrically) functional wire can be drawn between these to ports to show their connection.

bbfrom

Name of first BB instance Type pdaIdentifier documentation: Defines a valid name for an identifier.

Identifiers are used in the Python library for the getName() and setName() function and can thus be used to identify the different elements in lists.
In text the specification is a letter, followed by letters, numbers, underscore or dot. The XSD schema validation is a regular expression: [A-Za-z]([A-Za-z0-9_])*
