Device / Device options / Serialization
Serialization is special mode of program. When a serialization mode is activated, a specified
value is automatically inserted on predefined address into buffer before programming each
device. When more devices are programmed one by one, the serial number value is changed
for each device automatically and inserted into buffer before programming device, so each
device has unique serial number.
There are two types of serialization:
- Incremental mode
- From file mode
If a new device is selected, the serialization function is set to a default state i.e. disabled.
Actual serialization settings for actually selected device are saving to disk along with associated
device by File / Exit and save command.
When incremental mode is active following actual settings are saved to configuration file:
address, size, serial value, incremental step and settings of modes ASCII / BIN, DEC / HEX,
LS byte / MS Byte first.
When from-file mode is active following actual settings are saved to configuration file: name
of input serialization file and actual label, which indicates the line with actual serial number in
input file.
When program is in multiprogram mode (multiple socket programmer is actually selected) the
special section - Action on not programmed serial values due to error - is displayed in dialog
Serialization. In this section two choices are available:
1. Ignore not programmed serial values
2. Add not programmed serial values to file
Ignore not programmed serial values means the not programmed serial values are ignored
and no action is done with them.
Add not programmed serial values to file means the not programmed serial values are added
to file. The file of not programmed serial values has the same text format as serialization file
for ”From-file” serialization mode. So there is possible to program the serial values later on by
”From-file” serialization mode.
If device programming is stopped by user, program will not change the serial values ready for
next batch of devices. The same situation is if device program is incomplete, e.g. for device
insertion test error.
Ignoring or writing not programmed serial values is only used when at least one device from
current batch of devices in multiple socket module programmer is completely programmed and
verified without errors.
