  • Patent number: 10162910
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining settings of wires in an electrical system are provided. The method includes setting a first wire setting of a wire from among a plurality of wires to a pin setting of a pin attached to the wire if the pin has a pin setting; setting the first wire setting to a first connector setting of a first connector attached to the pin if the pin does not have a pin setting and the connector setting includes a default setting; and setting the first wire setting to at least one from among: a second pin setting of a second pin attached to the wire from among the plurality of pins; and a second connector setting of a second connector attached to the second pin if the pin does not have a pin setting and the first connector setting does not have a default setting.
