"/" - sign

[Altera_Forum]

Hi all, 

 I saw "/reset" lable on a wire.  what does "/" mean? does it metter if I lable it with "/" or without?   Thanks ahead

The symbol "/" is commonly used to designate an inverted logic signal, "#" is another candidate. But unfortunately, it's not compatible with high level languages. In the present schematic "reset" and "/reset" are different signals. I suggest "nreset" as a HDL compatible signal name.

So what u say is I can use, for example, one label RST and on other wire /RST and in harware I will see a not gate, am I right?

You won't "see" a not gate without placing a symbol in the schematic.

So if i give label a wire RST and the other /RST how it will be implemented?
