D Glossary
Action Symbol
Address
Found in the upper left corner of the screen, the action symbol rotates to
indicate that the programmer is performing an operation.
A coded instruction designating the location of data or program segments in
storage.
Address Offset
A value subtracted from addresses during input translation, then added to
addresses during output translation.
Algorithm
The software file containing information (a sequence of voltage or current
waveforms) to program a specific device.
All Parameters
The All Parameters screen displays all applicable parameters on a parameter
entry screen.
Approval
AutoBaud
Base
Baud Rate
Indication that a device manufacturer has tested an algorithm to support a
specific device on a programmer. The level of an approval varies by device
manufacturer, but an approval usually indicates both yield and waveform
analysis.
A special feature on the programmer that senses the baud rate of equipment
connected to the programmer and sets the programmer's baud rate to match
the equipment's baud rate. AutoBaud is designed for equipment that cannot
support baud rates as high as 9600 baud, such as 1200/2400 baud modems.
The interface between the programmer and the device. The Base routes the
signals between the device and the Universal Pin Drivers inside the
programmer.
A measure of data flow. The number of signal elements per second based on
the duration of the shortest element. When each element carries one bit, the
baud rate is numerically equal to bits per second.
