Master Operating Mode
The operation mode is set by selecting the desired value on the drop-down box. Operation modes include:
•
Disable—Engine operation is disabled and the engines cannot be run.
•
Load Program to SRAM—In this mode, writing to program memory is allowed. While one or more
engines are in the load-program mode. all the three engines are placed in Hold until the loading is
complete.. PWM values are also frozen. Program execution continues when all the engines are out of
the load-program mode. The load-program mode resets the program counter of the respective engine.
The load-program mode can be entered from the disabled mode only. Entering the load-program mode
from the run-program mode is not allowed. Note that the load-program mode does not automatically
load the program opened with the
Load Hex File
button. When using this operation mode, one must
