memory is not completely erased, “not blank” is displayed. Erase the flash memory of the target device before
starting programming.

The [Erase] command initiates the erase procedure for the target device connected to the FPL2.
While erasing the contents in the flash memory is in progress, the progress is displayed in the action
log window, indicating the operation of the programmer.
The [Blank Check] command that is executed before the [Erase] command is executed in accordance with the
setting of ‘Command options’ on the Advance tab of the [Device] > [Setup…] menu.
After completing the [Erase] command, the GUI software displays the target device command execution result.
