FX Special Features
6.1.8 Store Image To Cyclone
“Store Image to Cyclone” allows the current configuration to be programmed into the Cyclone. The
Cyclone will then be ready for operations.
Figure 6-11: Image Management And Transfer Dialog
The Interface drop-down list allows the user to select one of three Serial, USB, or Ethernet
interfaces. The Port drop-down list allows the user to select from one of the Cyclones available on
that interface. In the case of a Cyclone present on a different network (i.e., not displayed
automatically in the Port drop-down list), the user may specify its IP address by using the Specify
IP button.
“Store Image to Cyclone” will then store the image on the selected Cyclone.
6.1.9 Store Image To Disk
“Store Image To Disk” allows the current configuration to be saved onto the hard drive. The image
can then be transferred to the Cyclone’s internal flash via the Manage Images Utility.
6.1.10 Save Cyclone Configuration
“Save Cyclone Configuration,” in the file menu, allows the user to save the configuration into a file,
which may be used for future reference, e.g., comparing the Cyclone contents with the file to see if
they are the same.
6.1.11 Load Cyclone Configuration
“Load Cyclone Configuration” in the file menu allows the user to load a configuration that has
previously been saved in order to create a new image.
6.2 Manage Multiple SAP Images
The Cyclone Image Management Utility, shown in Figure 6-12 , allows the CYCLONE to store and
manage multiple images in the Cyclone’s internal memory. Once the programming images have
been created and saved to the disk using the Create Image utility, they may then be loaded
collectively onto the Cyclone.
