PG4UW software
95
The file consists of following information:
line T01 - current serial number 000005h
line T02 - ending (last) serial number 001006h
line T03 - serialization data format after line T04 is Intel Hex
line T04 - serialization data, which will be loaded to buffer of PG4UW before programming
device, data are represented in Intel Hex format
Optional records are:
T05:<message>
Warning or error message. This record causes the serialization is stopped
and warning or error message is displayed in PG4UW software.
T06: Current serial number greater than limit
This record causes the serialization is stopped and warning or error
message is displayed in PG4UW software. The reason of turning
serialization off is the current serial number is greater then allowed
maximum ending serial number. This record can be used when -E
command line parameter is specified, it means no zero Last serial value
in dialog Serialization is specified.
T11:<message> Less important warning or message. The serialization will not be
interrupted.
Flowchart of device programming with custom-generator serialization
When Custom-generator serialization is used, it means, that before each device programming
is started, serialization engine calls serialization generator executable, to
generate serial .dat file. PG4UW serialization engine manages proper
command line parameters for calling of serialization generator. The data
from .dat file are immediately read to internal programmer buffer and used
as data for programming device. Also next serial number information
(record T02) is remembered in PG4UW.
Typical flowchart of device programming is following:
1. Start of programming batch
2. Device insertion test
3. Serialization sequence, consists from four steps:
call of serialization generator with proper command line parameters to generate
serialization .dat file
waiting for serialization .dat file to be available
reading of serialization .dat file data to programmer buffer (the data will be used for
programming device)
delete serialization .dat file after reading of data from it
4. Device programming
5. Device verification
6. Operation result check.
This is fully managed by PG4UW control program. Serialization generator does not
have to do any operation according to operation result. Control program will call
serialization generator with required command line parameters.
OK - PG4UW makes request for next serial number. Next serial number was read from
.dat file in step 3. Call of serialization generator will have next serial number specified in
command line.
ERROR - PG4UW does not make request for new serial number. Recent serial number
will be used for next device. Next call of serialization generator will have recent serial
number specified in command line.
7. Repeat programming with next device?
