serialization engine calls request for new (next) serial number before each device
programming is started
used serial number is indicated by (*) after serial number value. Used serial number means,
the next device programming will use next serial number
Note: Calling of new serial number request before programming can be suppressed in case of
previous unsuccessful device programming result by option Serial number usage if
programming action fails:
when Reuse generated serial number for next programmed device option is selected,
request for new (next) serial number is suppressed in case of unsuccessful previous device
operation result. It means, used serial number is used again, and remains same until
successful device programming is completed
when Throw away (use the serial number only once, regardless result of the
programming) is selected, request for new serial number is performed before each device
operation, regardless result of previous programming operation
Serialization can work with control program's main buffer or extended buffers available for
some types of devices, for example Microchip PIC16Fxxx devices with Data EEPROM
Memory. The selection which buffer use by serialization routine is available in dialog
Serialization. If Buffer settings box is not visible, the current serialization mode does not
support extended buffers.
Device / Device options / Serialization / Incremental mode & SQTP
The Incremental mode & SQTP enables to assign individual serial numbers to each
programmed device. A starting number entered by user will be incremented by specified step
for each device program operation and loaded in selected format to specified buffer address
prior to programming of each device.
There are following options, that user can modify for incremental mode:
S / N size
S / N size option defines the number of bytes of serial value which will be written to buffer. For
Bin (binary) serialization modes values 1-8 are valid for S / N size and for ASCII serialization
modes values 1-16 are valid for S / N size.
Address
Address option specifies the buffer address, where serial value has to be written. Note that
address range must be inside the device start and device end addresses. Address must be
correctly specified so the last (highest or lowest) byte of serial value must be inside device
start and device end address range.
Start value
Start value option specifies the initial value, from which serialization will start. Generally, the
max. value for serialization is $1FFFFFFF in 32 bit long word.
When the actual serial value exceeds maximum value, three most significant bits of serial
number are set to zero. After this action the number is always inside 0...$1FFFFFFF interval
(this is basic style of overflow handling).
Step
Step options specify the increment step of serial value incrementation.
