Shift registers are very important for aligning data in your fpga. As in any programming language the declared items presented after the subprogram header are to be used locally within the subprogram body. All registers must share the same clock, and the output of one register must be connected to the input of the next register in the chain. The full form of vhdl is vhsic hardware description language.
