Action Symbol Found in the upper left corner of the screen, the action symbol rotates to
indicate that the programmer is performing an operation.
Address A coded instruction designating the location of data or program
segments in storage.
Address Offset A value subtracted from addresses during input translation and then
added to addresses during output translation.
Algorithm The software file containing information to program a specific device,
usually contained on a floppy disk.
All Parameters Also referred to as the Complex Parameters screen, the All Parameters
screen displays all applicable parameters on a parameter entry screen.
Approval Indication that a device manufacturer has tested an algorithm to support
a specific device on a programmer. The level of an approval varies by
device manufacturer, but an approval usually indicates both yield and
waveform analysis.
AutoBaud A special feature on the programmer that senses the baud rate of
equipment connected to the programmer and sets the programmer’s
baud rate to match the equipment’s baud rate. AutoBaud is designed for
equipment that cannot support baud rates as high as 9600 baud, such as
1200/2400 baud modems.
Base The interface between the module (PinSite) and the device. The Base
routes the signals between the device and the Universal Pin Drivers
inside the programmer.
Baud Rate A measure of data flow. The number of signal elements per second based
on the duration of the shortest element. When each element carries one
bit, the Baud rate is numerically equal to bits per second.
BGA An acronym for Ball Grid Array, a type of device package. Usually a
square device with one side populated with small solder balls as leads.
Blank Check A device check that checks a device for programmed bits. If no
programmed bits are found, the device is considered blank.
