10. Using the <Device> commands individually
It is possible to fire off any programmer command individually from the <Device> menu.
Please note:
i. The programmer will, by default, perform a 'Pre-programming State machine operation'
and a 'Check Signature' for each operation selected. The 'Check Signature' can be
disabled using a tick box.
ii. The <Device><Write> operation does not perform a 'Chip Erase' operation. If there is
already non-FF data in the target device then the 'Write' operation will fail. A manual
<Device><Erase> is required to erase the device.
iii. The <Device><Special Options> operation allows the user to read the current values of
the fuse bits of the target device (if the device supports this). New values can also be
written to the target device.
