If you use the charge pump output you get two lines in the hal file:

net estop-out charge-pump.enable iocontrol.0.user-enable-out
and further down:
net estop-out <= iocontrol.0.user-enable-out
This second line is redundant though it does no harm.

Now for my next question. What does iocontrol.0.user-enable-out do? The 
above example never enables the charge pump. I tied a pyVCP LED to this 
line and I never see it to go active. To get the charge pump to work as 
expected I connected it to axis.0.amp-enable-out.

By the way if a pin is already connected in one hal file is there any 
way to access it in another hal file? For instance if I want to have a 
pyVCP LED showing iocontrol.0.user-enable-out, the only way I could find 
to do it was to remove all other references to that pin so I could 
connect it in my postgui hal file.
