Description

 

Buffer Name

Here you can type in a name for the buffer or pick it from the history list. By default the first opened buffer gets the name "Buffer #0". Then you can open the "Buffer #1", etc. or give the buffer any name you wish.

Size of sub-layer 'Code'

Here you can assign a size of the 'Code' layer from the drop-down menu - from 128KB to 32MB.

Fill sub-layer 'Code' with data:

The program fills the buffer sub-layers with some default information, usually by the 'FF's or zeros. By checking these boxes you specify when the layer 'Code' should be filled with the default information - before loading the file or right after the device type has been chosen.

Data to fill sub-layer with:

These two toggled radio buttons define if the sub-layer 'Code' will be filled with some default information, specific for the selected device, or by the custom bit pattern.

Shrink buffer size when device is selected

The buffer size usually exceeds the target device 'Code' size. By checking this box you downsize the buffer to match the target device and to free some computer memory.
