workbook” on page 90 for details about using the workbook programming feature.
Working with programming and acquisition errors
If any errors are encountered during pre-validation, programming or acquisition, an error list is
generated. You can access the error list by clicking
Edit Errors on the ICS menu. You can view
the error list, go to any problem spots in the workbook, and save the error information into a
special sheet in the workbook for reference purposes. Refer to
“Using the OLP Error dialog” on
page 100 .
You can set the maximum number of errors reported by the Off-line Programming tool. Refer to
“Understanding the About ICS Workbook dialog” on page 104
If no errors are encountered during pre-validation, programming or acquisition, the error list will
be empty.
