rent device type. If the address is not in the range, the following error message is displayed.

Address out of range, Press any key

During the verification process, the programmer displays a status message on the bottom line to indicate the beginning address of the packet currently being programmed.

Reading at address 7000 (hit ESC key to abort)

This message is updated when the programmer starts to verify the next pack- et.

If, for some reason, you want to terminate the verify process before it is com-

pleted, press the key to abort the process and return to the display com- mand menu.

When the verification process is either completed or aborted, a message in- forms you whether or not the verification was successful. The message for successful verification is:

Verification Complete, verify another device?(y/n)

If you want to verify another device using the same parameter values, replace the device in the programmer with the new one and press .

The message for an unsuccessful verification is:

Error occurred during verification. (hit any key)

Press any key to erase the error message and return to the display command menu. Use the show command to look at the error file and find the error loca- tion(s).

3.13.2 Verifying Using the Gang Programmer

The verify command verifies the contents of one or more devices with the contents of PC memory or against a master EPROM. If you verify a single de- vice against PC memory and the verification fails, this function generates a verification output file.

Step 1: Identify the source of the verification. That is, master device or PC memory. For more information about master EPROM devices, refer to Section 1.2 on page 1-4.

Enter source [M]aster or [P]C

If master is chosen, the memory ranges are determined from the master EPROM.

Step 2: Enter which device(s) are going to be verified.

Enter Device #[1...16] or [A]ll
