Using the Master Mode Menu
3.15 Using the Master Mode MenuÐthe Master Command
The master command mode allows you to program and manipulate data with a master device as the source of the data manipulation. This command brings up a menu simliar to the display window command menu. All the commands, except program, upload, and copy, work identically to the display window commands; however, the operations are performed on the master device only. The differences among the program, upload, and copy commands are de- scribed below:
Program | The program command allows you to program a blank master |
| device. You are prompted for address ranges, just as you are |
| with the display window program command. After programming |
| the ranges, the programmer programs the header information |
| into the first 256 bytes of the master device. The programmer |
| then calculates and programs the checksum into the last byte of |
| header information. |
Upload | The upload command has two optionsÐ data only or configura- |
| tion and data. |
| Data only allows you to load the data specified by the master |
| device header information but does not upload the header infor- |
| mation. |
| Configuration and data replaces the currently selected device |
| information with the header information from the master device |
| and also uploads the programmed data of the device. The de- |
| vice that was chosen in the configuration window is no longer |
| valid. Before you return to the configuration window, you will be |
| prompted to see if you would like to add the new configuration |
| that was uploaded to the device table. |
Copy | The copy command copies the defined ranges from the master |
| EPROM to all 16 devices. The necessary data should have been |
| previously programmed in the master device using the program |
| command in to the master menu. Because the copy is done in |
| firmware without software intervention, no message showing |
| the address being programmed is seen on the PC screen. |
