Session 6: Loading Data from a Disk
Getting Started
This Session describes how to load binary device data into the programmer
from the programmer's floppy disk drive. You can use the sample data file
(sample.bin) included on the Boot files/System files disk for this Session.
Before starting this Session, complete Session 2 and be familiar with the
programmer's user interface.
Use the Load File command when the data file to be loaded contains a binary
image of the data you want to program into a device. The Save File command
creates a binary image file by copying the data in the programmer's RAM
directly to a disk file. The Load File command loads the binary data file directly
into memory.
Note: The Transfer Data command transfers formatted data files
between either the programmer and another machine (like a PC) or
programmer RAM and the programmer disk drive.
Note: Do not use the Load File and Save File commands with
formatted data files. Use the Input from Disk and Output to Disk
commands to load and save formatted data files.
1.Select File Operations from the More Commands menu. The File menu is
