Commands
� Compensated Vector Test (Y,N)
Y enables load compensation on PLD output pins under test during vector
testing, which may eliminate structured test errors when testing PLDs
sensitive to output loading where many of the device's registers transition
simultaneously. This test is available only for logic devices and defaults to
N at powerup. It defaults to Y if you select a non-Open Collector device
and defaults to N if you select an Open Collector device. This parameter
can be saved/restored with the Save/Restore Configuration command.
� Display Device Footnote (Y,N)
Y enables the programmer to automatically display any device-specific
information for the selected device. N disables automatic display and
causes the programmer to display this message if there is any devicespecific
information: Hit F3 or ? to view device specific
message.
� Abort on Empty Socket (Y,N)
Y (the default) causes the programmer to abort the operation in progress
when an empty socket is found. A Load operation on an empty socket does
not change RAM and no checksum is reported. N disables this option.
� RAM Device Selection (Y,N)
Selecting Y causes the programmer to load default (Algorithm Type D)
algorithms into RAM. (This feature is limited to programmers with 8MB of
RAM.) N disables this option and frees up any RAM used by the option.
When you select a device after you power up with this option enabled, the
programmer loads the algorithms from the Algorithm disk that is inserted
in the disk drive and displays the following message: Loading device
algorithm file into user RAM. You are prompted to insert a different
disk if you select a device whose algorithm is not yet loaded into RAM.
Serial I/O Port Configuration
More Commands / Configure System / Edit / Serial I/O
Use the Edit Serial I/O Port Configuration command to specify the
communications parameters for the programmer's two serial ports.
Use this command when you connect equipment to the programmer's Terminal
and Remote ports so they can be compatible with your terminal or host
computer. To save the settings of the two ports for use in a future session,
save them in a configuration file.
A change in the serial port parameters does not become effective until you
press ENTER. If terminal settings are changed, a message prompts you to press
ENTER again after you alter your terminal to match the new settings. Output to
the terminal is suspended until you press ENTER the second time.
The parameters and their settings are described below.
� Baud Rate
Specifies the baud rate for both the Terminal and Remote ports. Press
SPACE to cycle through the baud rates supported by the programmer. The
programmer supports the following baud rates: 50, 75, 110, 134.5, 150,
200, 300, 600, 1050, 1200, 1800, 2000, 2400, 4800, 7200, 9600, and
19.2K baud (and 115.2K baud with HiTerm).
