2.7 Reading Images from Target Devices
It is possible to read images from programmed target devices and store them in an image bank on the
MPQ. This is useful if you desire to copy the contents of a given device for the purpose of programming other
devices. NOTE that it is only possible to read a valid image from a device which has had its protection fuses
programmed to prevent the reading of its internal memory. Images read from a device which has been pro-
grammed for security will not be valid.
To read an image from a programmed, unprotected device, open the Image Manager Window, and select
the image bank which you would like to receive the image to be read. The select Image/Read Image from
Target from the MP Manager menu bar. This will invoke the Read Image from Target dialog box. This dialog
allows you to select the target port from which the image will be read, and to set the programming parameters
for the image. Note that the device, target voltage and programming mode selections you choose for the image
will also be used when reading the image from the target device. You may also enter a name for the new image.
Once you have made your selections, click the Read Image button to read the device and program the image
into MPQ Flash. While the image is being read, status will be displayed in the Target Port frame.
