The parametersinclude baud rate, stop bits, data bits, handshaking, and others.~ A circuit board that allows communication with the host handler.~ The electrically conductive metal leads on a socket module which conduct programmingsignals from the programmer to the pins on the device in the socket.~ A preprogramming test that checks the device for electrical connections to the socket.(No electrical connection to the die). Not all pins are checked during this test.~ Complex Programmable Logic Device~ Central Processing UnitDABDACdevicedevice packagedevice tapeDiagnostic AdaptorDIPdm 3 /sDRAMdry runDUT~ Diagnostic Adapter Board~ Digital to Analog Converter.~ A programmable integrated circuit. You may have heard other terms such as chip, microchip,semiconductor device, PROM, or DUT (Device Under Test).~ The protective container or housing for an electronic device with external terminals toprovide electrical access to the components inside.~ The device pocket tape, the devices, and the cover tape before they are separated.~ A circuit board that replaces the Socket Adapter Board for performing programmer hardwarediagnostics.~ Dual Inline Package.~ cubic decimeter per second~ Dynamic Random Access Memory~ A state or action in which the RoadRunner will operate without all the necessary informationor devices to run. Synonymous with trial run.~ Device Under Test, referring to the device that will be programmed or verified.GESDEthernetElectrostatic Discharge. ESD can damage programmable devices and other static sensitiveelectronic components.~ The most popular type of local area network, which sends its communications throughradio frequency signals carried by a coaxial cable. Software protocols used by Ethernetsystems vary, but include Novell Netware and TCP/IP.Glossary—2Data I/O • ProLINE-RoadRunner Owner’s Manual • 096-0240 [updated 10Jul08]
