occurs, the error message will be displayed and the process will be ceased. The
other method is no verifying during the programming. Even if an error occurs, the
process will not be ceased. After the data for the last address are written, the
successful programming message will be displayed. Anyway, the successful
programming message only means that the programming process is finished, the
correctness is dependent on the result of verification.
Read: The function reads the content of the chip into the buffer. To view the
content read, please open the Buffer Edit dialogue box.
Note:
1) For the encrypted chips, their content cannot be read.
2) For the chips with the ConfigWord, the ConfigWord will be read and saved to the
ConfigWord buffer.
3) For PLD devices, their test vector isn't in the chip, unable to read it.
Verify: The function compares the content of the buffer with that of the chip. If
there is any discrepancy, verification will cease and failure message will be
displayed. For most memory chips and SCM chips, the failure message includes
address and data. For PLD devices, the message displayed depends on the
programming reference. Only the chips that pass verification can be recognized as
the chips being programmed correctly.
Some chips do not provide the cell to cell check function, but only provide the
accumulation check function similar to the VerifyCRC. Few chips even do not
provide the accumulation check function and the check is carried out automatically in
the programming process.
Blank_check: This function checks if the device is in blank state, which is
dependent on the data manual. If filling the blank data buffer is selected when the
devices are selected, the programmer will fill all the HEX/ASCII buffer data with
FF or 00 (Hex), and the fuse buffer with 1 or 0 after the device is selected. An
encrypted chip may be displayed as a blank chip. EEPROM (the chip can be
overwritten) doesn't need Bank_check.
How to make a chip blank?
1) For the chip that can be erased electrically, execute the ‘Erase’ operation.
2) For the chip that can be erased with ultraviolet ray, use the ultraviolet ray
eraser for 3-30 minutes.
3) For OTP, once written it is unable to be written over back to blank again.
Erase: Erase the chip and make it blank. This operation can only be executed on
the chip that can be erased electrically. EEPROM doesn't need to execute this
operation. If you need a chip of blank state you can directly write the blank data
to the chip. Some chips that can be erased electrically are able to become an OTP
by configuring the ConfigWord. Please refer to the device data manual.
Protect:
1) Encrypt the data to make them unreadable. Whether the protection state is
readable or not, affects the editing of the operation function. When the
protection state is unreadable, the ‘Protect’ operation will be added to the
operation function window. As long as the ‘Protect’ function is executed, the
chip will be protected. If the protection state is readable, the state ‘None’ and
