5.2.2.1.6 Launch Image Programming
Launches the selected programming image. Replaces the hardware Start Button.
5.2.2.2
Set Image Validation
Allows the user to choose between two validation settings: 1) validate the image each time the
Start button is pressed, or 2) do not validate the image.
5.2.2.3
Serial Numbers
Displays the serial number information associated with the currently selected programming image.
If there is none, it will display, “This Image Contains No Serial Numbers.” There may be one or
more Serial Files associated with the image. The user can click on a specific Serial File name to
see the following information about that Serial File:
•
UID - Unique identifier of the serial number
•
Next Serial # ASCII - Next serial number to be programmed (shown in ASCII format)
•
Algorithm ID - Displays the algorithm ID of the serial file
•
CS ID - Displays the ID of the CS (Choose Serial) command in the SAP file.

The user can also click on “Modify Serial Number” to edit that serial number. It is possible to
Decrease or Increase the Next Serial by -10, -1, +1, +10. This is often done to address issues in
the production process, such as during initial setup.

The adjustment buttons will display “Increase Not Allowed” and “Decrease Not Allowed” if the
image/algorithm/CS file that the user has selected does not allow for this operation.
Note:
Older serial files are specific to one programming image, unlike PEmicro’s current serial files. If
viewing Serial Number info for an image that references one or more older serial files, the Cyclone
will not show links to the serial files but will instead display serial number info for the first serial file.
The user can then Modify Next Serial to change the next serial number, or click MORE at the
