Description

Buffer:

The field Buffer displays the active buffer to which the programming operations (functions) will be applied. A full list of open buffers is available here via the drop-down menu.

Functions

This field lists the tree of the functions relevant to the selected target device. Some functions represent the ChipProg commands  while others integrate a few sub-functions and can be expand or collapsed. Double clicking on the function invokes the command and is equivalent to single clicking the Execute button (see below).

Blank check

Checks if the target device is blank

Program

Programs the target device (writes the information from an active buffer to the target device).

Read

Reads out the content of the target device to an active buffer.

Verify

Compares the content of the target device and an active buffer

Auto Programming

Executes a preset sequence of operations (batch operations) settable in the Auto Programming dialog. The Edit Auto button opens this dialog.

Addresses

Here you can set the addresses for the buffer and the target device to which the programming functions will be applied.

Device start:

The very first address in the target device's physical memory which will be programmed or read.

Device end:

The very last address in the target device's physical memory which will be programmed or read.

Buffer start:

The very first address in the buffer memory from which the data will be written to the target device or to which the data will be read from the device.

Execute

There are three alternative ways to activate a highlighted function: a) to click the Execute button; b) to double click on the function line; c) to push the Enter button on the PC keyboard.

Repetitions:

Any function can be executed repeatedly. The number of repetitions can be set here.

Edit Auto

Clicking on this button opens the Auto Programming dialog.

Operation Progress

In this field the ChipProgUSB displays the current operation progress bar and the operation status (OK, failed, etc.).
