Software
Pg4uw is common control program for these B+K PRECISION programmers. Thus, during
work with him it is possible to find some items, those refer not to current selected
programmer.
Some special devices (e.g. Philips Coolrunner family) require external DAT files, that aren’t
present in standard Pg4uw SW delivery on CD. If you need to program these devices, look at
www.bkprecision.com .
You can start control program with different
command line parameters .
Basic rules for using of executive command line parameters:
1. command line parameters are not case sensitive
2. command line parameters can be used when first starting of program or when program is
already running
3. if program is already running, then any of command line operation is processed only when
program was not busy (no operation was currently executing in program). Program
must be in basic state, i.e. main program window focused, no modal dialogs displayed,
no menu commands opened or executed.
4. order of processing command line parameters when using more parameters together is
defined firmly as following:
1. Load file (/Load file:...)
2. Load project (/Prj:...)
3. EPROM/Flash select by ID
4. Program device (/Program[:switch])
5. Close of control program (/Close only together with parameter /Program)
Available command line parameters:
/Axxx check programmer present on LPT port with address xxx only
example: /A3bc
/SPP force PC <-> programmer communication in unidirectional mode
Available executive command line parameters:
/Prj:<file_name> forces
project load when program is starting or even if program is
already running, <file_name> means full or relative project file path
and name
/Loadfile:<file_name> forces file load when program is starting or even if program is already
running, <file_name> means full or relative path to file that has to be
loaded, file format is detected automatically
/Program[:switch] forces start of ”Program device” operation automatically when
program is starting, or even if program is already running, also one of
following optional switches can be used:
switch 'noquest' forces start of device programming without question
switch 'noanyquest' forces start of device programming without question and after
operation on device is completed, program doesn't show "Repeat"
operation dialog and goes directly into main program window
