Step 2 - Use the Programming Software to Enter or Edit the Data

You Want to Force in the Extended Force Configuration Table

The extended force configuration table lets you specify as many as four groups of block-transfer data words to force. Each group can contain as many as 256 words of block-transfer data. When you plan your forcing, you can group together multiple block-transfer instructions until you reach the 256-word maximum for each group. Keep in mind that the data in each group should be all read data or all write data.

Specify each group by entering the address of the first block-transfer instruction in that group in the extended force configuration table. Use the programming software‘s edit function on the extended force configuration table to clear entries, modify entries, or change block-transfer instructions.

Use your programming software to edit the extended force configuration table:

1.Choose the software option that lets you modify entries in the extended force configuration table.

2.Enter the file number and starting element.

3.Enter the file size (1-256 words).

4.Enter the direction of the instruction (R=read; W=write).

Forced data table files must be of type B, A, N, or D or this error appears:

FORCES MUST BE OF TYPE B, A, N, OR D

Data files are automatically created and their size automatically increased if necessary. To delete or reduce the size of a data file, you must use the memory map function of the programming software. If you configure a file using the extended force configuration table, you must delete the file from the extended force configuration table before you can delete it from the memory map.
