Now you can check the part to see if it is blank. You don’t have to do
this, but if an error occurs during programming you will wonder whether
or not the part was really erased or not.
To verify through PGMX, type the letter U and then return(<cr>). This
will cause the 9000 to check the entire part. If you only want to check
part of it, type the letter U and then the starting and ending addresses
to check. The Busy led will come on indicating that the 9000 is doing
something. After a short period of time, the Busy led will go off. If the
eprom is not erased, the 9000 aborts to the command mode with an
error message *NE ERR @nnnn, where nnnn is the address that
contains data. The 9000 will return to the command state without
issuing any error message if the part is blank.
Type Control – F (hold down the control key and press the letter F) and
you will get a prompter to enter command line. A minimum command
line consists of a <cr>, which will return you to the 9000 commmand
prompter. To program a file, the minimum command line would consist
of a filename and a <cr>. You can also specify options on the command
line, but probably not when you are programming manually like this.
To program from an Intel Hex file from the Control–F “enter command
line” prompt, enter the file name (format: filename.HEX). You don’t
have to specify an extension unless you want to program from a
BINARY file (format: filename.ext). In most cases it is probably an Intel
Hex file you are using. Remember the interface program PGMX can’t
handle any other format than Intel Hex or Binary.
After you enter the filename, and you hit <cr>, PGMX will look for a file
by the name you specified on the disk and begin sending it to the 9000.
It will show only the load address that is being processed (in Ascii–Hex
numbers), or the number of bits programmed in the Binary format
(decimal numbers).
If an error occurs while programming any particular chip, PGMX will
abort sending the file and issue the error message that was sent from
the 9000. Control is returned to PGMX or DOS
(depending on where
you started from, in this case from PGMX).
See the Diagnostics section for Overload information.
At this point, you may then reload the 9000 and begin the process
again.
