Evaluation Kit User Manual for FX828 and FX829
EV8000
Two control buttons allow the user to start and stop the function which in turn generate either
‘running’ or ‘idle’ status messages.
The Tester should be started before the user clicks on the Start button to ensure bit
synchronisation is achieved.
Error messages will be reported in the status edit box if the user has incorrectly configured the
FX829 device forms.
Note: Other device functions should not be performed whilst the BERT facility is operational.
1.6.4 Software Description - µC Board
1.6.4.1 PIC µC Programming Software
This is supplied on disk as a self-documented executable file PICPROGA.EXE for a PC running
DOS (either directly or as a DOS window in Windows 3.11 or '95). It is not recommended for use
on Windows NT systems. Please note that this programming software does not meet the Arizona
Microchip Technology verification requirements for a "production quality" programmer. Also, it
does not support the programming of ID locations and there is no checksum facility.
The user interface consists of two windows. The top window contains the operating instructions
and the bottom window shows the command line and data communications with the PIC µC.
When the top window first appears the user will be prompted to enter the number of the serial
communications port to which the µC board is connected. Once the user has entered this
number, the following commands are displayed:
press F to load file.
press C to enter Configuration Word. Currently - xxxx
press B to check target device is blank.
press P to program target device.
press V to verify target device.
press R to read target device.
press A to view contents of program data array.
press Esc to return to DOS.
A new function from the above table can be selected whenever the >ok prompt appears in the
bottom window.
