Creating a Task for a Logic Device
This section describes how to create a Task for a logic device and
describes the necessary parameters.
The area on the screen in which you enter or select each parameter is
referred to in this manual as the parameter entry field or, simply, field.
Not all of the TaskLink parameter fields must be changed from their
default values. You may accept the default settings on many fields while
creating your Tasks.
There are several parameters or commands that all users must define in
order to create a functioning PLD (or memory device) Task. These are
known as mandatory Task fields and are listed below:
•
Device(s)
— Define device to be programmed.
•
Data Source
— Select the source of data to be programmed into the
device.
•
Process(es)
— Define the operations to be performed on the device.
•
Handling/Labeling Parameters...
— Define the device orientation
and label.
The mandatory fields are shown in the large bold letters in selected
paragraphs below. Parameters that are not shown in large bold letters are
not required for the Task to run and process devices.
Note: This manual is written for users who are using the PC keyboard to make
selections from the TaskLink screens. The same selections can be made
with a mouse by simply moving the mouse pointer over the defined field
and then pressing the mouse button.
