•
Use “File-Save” to save the data in the file buffer (current screen) to
the currently opened EEPROM image data file. If there is no current
file opened, a dialog box will appear for typing in a new file name to
create a file, or to select an existing file to over-write.
•
Use “File-Save As” to save the data in the file buffer (the current
screen) to a file to be named. A dialog box will appear prompting for
a file name.
•
Use “File-Exit” to exit the keeprom program.
The Tools functions are used to manage the EEPROM image data inside the
current file buffer.
•
Use “Tools-Verify” to compare the data in the file buffer against the
data inside the EEPROM of the connected switch module.
•
Use “Tools-Upload” to read the data from the EEPROM to the file
buffer. The current data in the file buffer will be overwritten with the
contents of EEPROM.
•
Use “Tools-Download” to write the data in the file buffer to the
EEPROM. All the data in EEPROM will be overwritten with the data
indicated in the current screen.
•
Use “Tools-Modify” to bring up an editing window to modify the data
in the file buffer.
The “Help-About” function only provides a method to display the current
version number of this software.
To write data to the EEPROM registers, you will need to refer to the
EEPROM Register Map that follows. You will have to enter data in “byte”
form using two hexadecimal digits to represent the contents of each register.
The easiest way to accomplish this is to first use “Tools-Upload” to load the
screen buffer with the current EEPROM contents, then use “Tools-Modify” to
change specific buffer registers, as required for your application. Then use
“Tools-Download” to download the new contents to the EEPROM. In case of
error, you may wish to first use “File-Save As” after you upload the EEPROM
contents in order to preserve the original contents before making changes.
Note that there is no error checking done by this software, it is up to you to
make sure that you write the EEPROM registers correctly to affect its
operation as required. Be sure to follow your changes with a reset.
The operative values for most of the advanced features of this device are
stored in EEPROM memory in the module. The contents of these registers
are loaded upon power-up or after reset, only when the module is operating
in EEPROM Mode. A runtime image of these registers are also available in
SPI mode (SPI Mode registers do not reside in EEPROM). You can make
changes to these internal program registers as required for your application
according to the register map that follows.
IMPORTANT:
In order to access on-board EEPROM, you must place the
module in EEPROM (I
2
C) Mode by setting DIP switch S2-3 to OFF.
Additionally, DIP switch S2-2 is set ON to provide direct EEPROM access,
and DIP switch S2-1 is set ON to enable initialization via EEPROM.
