  • Page 102 Elnec s. r. o. Jam Player version 2 (see Action and Procedures controls) Action Select desired action for executing. Jam file of version 2 consists of actions. Action consists of calling of procedures which are executed. Jam file of version 1 does not know statements 'action' and 'procedure', therefore choice Action is not accessible.

Frequently asked questions about Actel Q: How can we identify/verify already programmed Actel device? A: There are several possible options to get this done. Each option(action) is varying from each other in method of comparing already programmed Actel device with loaded STAPL file.
