Parameters are user-definable fields that either qualify or quantify
UniSite-xpi's actions. Qualifying parameters, such as Illegal Bit Check,
control whether or not UniSite-xpi performs an operation. Quantifying
parameters, such as Block Size or I/O Translation Format, give
UniSite-xpi a range or variable to use in an operation.
Six different parameters are shown in Figure 3-47, including Destination
and User Data Size.
Look at the Load Memory Device screen. At the top of the dialog
window, you see one of the following:
LOAD MEMORY DEVICE (all parameters)
LOAD MEMORY DEVICE (non-default)
There are two types of parameter screens: simple and complex.
UniSite-xpi defaults to displaying the simple, Non-default parameters
screen.
Both screens let you change load parameters. The All Parameters screen
contains all the load parameters supported by the selected device, while
the Non-default parameters screen contains a simplified subset of the
load parameters supported by the selected device.
To see the difference between the two screens, press F4. If you were
looking at the Non-default screen, you are now be looking at the All
Parameters screen. (Likewise, if you were looking at the All Parameters
screen you are now looking at the Non-default screen.) As you can see,
there is roughly a 2:1 difference in the number of parameters between the
two screens. The All Parameters screen is shown in Figure 3-48. Compare
the difference between the two screens.
During the course of normal device operations, you will usually need
only the parameters on the Non-default screen. But if you want to do
more complicated operations, such as loading only part of the data from a
device, you need to change some of the parameters on the All Parameters
screen.
