A-4 ProMaster 2500 User Manual
Fuse Verification
A type of post-programming device check that checks the fuse pattern
programmed into a logic device against the pattern in user memory.
Fusemap
The fuse-level description portion of a programmable integrated circuit.
Fusemaps are typically files in JEDEC Standard #3A format and are
downloaded to PLD programmers for programming or verifying a
device.
High-speed Logic Drivers
A logic device test that increases the speed of the logic transitions
between 0 to 1 and 1 to 0 of the test vector input states. This test is a
diagnostic tool designed to help debug and classify test vector failures.
Specifically, this test is designed to help identify vector transitions that
are speed dependent.
I/O Address Offset
This value influences the beginning address where data is stored during a
file transfer operation. For uploads from the 2500, the I/O Offset is an
address value add to the RAM address for each transferred data byte. For
downloads, the I/O Offset is subtracted from the beginning address in
the formatted data file. The result is then added to the memory begin
address to determine where the block of data is loaded.
I/O Timeout
The amount of time that the programming electronics will wait for a data
transfer to begin.
I/O Translation Format
See Data Translation Format.
Illegal Bit
An illegal bit is a programmed location in a device that the data file
specifies should not be programmed.
Illegal Bit Check
A test that determines whether or not a socketed device contains any
illegal bits.
JEDEC
An acronym for Joint Electron Design Engineering Committee, which is a
committee of programmer and semiconductor manufacturers that
provide common standards for programmable issues. Examples include:
acceptable test characters for PLDs and standard data transfer/
programming formats for PLDs. JEDEC Standard #3A is the industry
standard for PLD formats.
JEDEC Standard #3A
The standard PLD data translation format (as defined by the JEDEC) for
PLD design software to communicate with PLD programmers. It defines
the states of all fuses in the device (the fusemap) and may include test
vectors for device testing.
LED
An acronym for Light Emitting Diode. The 2500 has one external LED on
the disk drive and numerous internal LEDs on the handler controller
board used for diagnostic tests.
Liner
The non-adhesive backing that holds the blank labels on a label roll.
Labels are removed from the liner by the 2500 and applied to the device.
Load Device
A device operation that copies data from a master device into user
memory.
Local Mode
One of two system operation modes for the ProMaster 2500. When placed
in local mode, the 2500 responds to commands sent either from the front
panel or its internal firmware. In this mode, the 2500 is not operating with
TaskLink. The other general operating mode for the 2500 is Remote
mode.
