System Software
The DS87000's system software runs on a standard PC, and allows full control of the programmer's operation
through a system of pull down menus. Each of these menus and their sub-menus is described in the following
sections.
DOS Menu
Port
The Port command allows the user to select which PC COM port (1, 2, 3, or 4) the programmer is attached.
The power-on default is COM 1.
DOS
This function provides a convenient means of temporarily exiting to a DOS shell. The DOS "EXIT"
command will return to the menu.
Exit
Exit the DS87000 system software.
Buffer Menu
Load
This command loads an Intel hex file into the programmer's data buffer. Only the buffer memory that is
loaded with data is affected. All other memory remains unchanged.
Save
This command saves the contents of the programmer's buffer to the selected PC file. The information is
stored in Intel hex format. The size of the EPROM in the last device read or programmed determines the file
size. All buffer memory used for a particular device is saved to the file. Therefore if the device most recently
read or programmed has a 16K Byte EPROM, the file will contain the Intel hex formatted contents of all 16K
bytes.
