Device / Device options / Special options

The special terms used here are exactly the terms used by manufacturer of respective chip.
Please read the documentation to the chip you want to program for explanation of all used
terms.
If the name of this menu item is starting by "View/Edit ...", then the Read device command will
read the content of the chip configuration and it can be viewed and edited by this menu
command.

Device / Blank check

This command executes device blank check. The control program reports a result of this
action by messages in INFO window and LOG.

The menu command

Device / Device options / Operation options

  of  PG4UW  allows  to

customize available operation options.

Device / Read

This command allows reading all device or its part into the buffer. The read procedure can
also read the content of the chip configuration (if it exists and is readable). The special device
configuration areas can be viewed or edited in dialogs available by menu

View / Edit buffer

and menu

Device / Device options / Special options

 (Alt+S).

The control program reports a finish of Read action by writing a message to INFO window
and LOG.

After finished read procedure will be the buffer synchronization process started. The read
data will be transferred from programmer's internal SSD disk to PC. Progress of the data
transfer is showed  in separate window. Transfer can be canceled by pressing key <Esc> or
pressing the window's exit button.

The menu command

Device / Device options / Operation options

 allows to set another

working area as the standard. Setting an option

Verify data after reading

 in this menu

command means a higher reliability for device reading. . In this case are the read data stored
in programmer for verification used. Buffer synchronization will be performed after the
verification procedure.

Device / Verify

This command compares content of the whole device including its available special areas
with data in buffer stored in internal storage disk of programmer. Therefore are the data from
data buffer transferred from PC into the programmer. Progress of the buffer synchronization
is in separate window shown. Synchronization process can be canceled by pressing of key

<Esc>

, or pressing window's exit button. The control program reports a result of verify

operation to Info window and Log window.

The menu command

Device / Device options / Operation options

  of  PG4UW  allows  to

customize available operation options.
