3.2 POWER-UP
3.2.1 GENERAL OPERATION NOTES
Keep the following items in mind while operating the 298.
• Aborting an Operation.
Most operations (except for a few select functions) can
be aborted by pressing one of the four mode keys
(COPY, VERIFY, SELECT, or EDIT). If an operation is
in progress when one of these keys is pressed, the 298
momentarily displays the message:
FUNCTION ABORT
then assumes the mode selected and displays the
message appropriate for the mode selected.
• Action Symbol.
Copy, verify, and some select operations in progress are
indicated by a rotating action symbol in the display as
shown below.
II II II II II II \I \I II \I
" I\ I\ I\ I\ I\ I\ I\ I\ "
• Changing an Address or Block Size.
m
u
Some operations prompt for address or block size
information by displaying a
"A "
character followed by
"ADDR" (in some cases "ADDRESS"), or "SIZE" on
the front panel keyboard display. For example; a copy
operation might prompt for a block size or beginning
address. A specific block size, RAM address, device
address, or serial data address offset can be entered
from the programmer front panel keyboard with the
numeric keys, or the default values can be entered by
pressing the start key. The default states for the various
address and block size parameters associated with
device, RAM, and port-related operations are identified
in subsection 3.5 (Source/Destination Method of
Syntax).
• 1/0 Operation.
When executing Input/ Output related operations, be
sure the correct operational parameters (i.e., baud rate,
parity bits, and stop bits) are set (see subsection 2.5).
3.2.2 POWER-UP PROCEDURE
Use the following procedure to power-up the programmer:
1. Install a programming Pak or module into the
programmer if this has not already been done (see
subsection 2.2).
NOTE
If a programming Pak or module is not
installed in the programmer when power
is turned on, the 298 will "beep" until a
programming Pak is properly installed.
CAUTION
Be careful when installing the Pak to
assure that the connector pins on the
bottom of the Pak are not damaged.
Check to make sure the sockets on the Pak are empty.
If a device is in the socket, lift up the socket lever (see
subsection 3.4.3) then gently lift the device out of the
socket. See subsection 2.2 for Pak installation
procedures.
2. Plug the AC power cord into the rear of the
programmer and into a power receptacle.
3. Press the power switch at the back of the programmer
to the "ON" position (see figure 3-1).

Power Switch and Power Cord Locations
When power is fully applied, the programmer automatically
performs the self-test routine which initializes the 298
hardware and checks the scratch RAM, firmware and data
RAM. While the self test routine is being performed the
programmer will display:
(SELF TEST
El)
NQTE
The action symbol
f
[!]J
has a rotating
hand which rotates several times to
indicate the programmer is performing
the self test.
When the self test is complete the programmer will display:
(SELF TEST -
