What features are available? EasyPRO programs and reads the content of the memory device for ON Semiconductor serial EEPROMs. Choose and open the device file from the list available in “Devices” folder. To write or verify the data to or from the memory, an internal data Buffer is available. The buffer size is equal to the memory size of the selected device.
EASYPRO1GEVB INSTALLATION Program Installation Do not connect the EasyPRO tester to the computer prior to installing the application software. EasyPRO 3.2 software requires the following system configuration: • Microsoft Windows XP or above • 20 MB of available hard disk space to install and run EasyPRO software •...
In order to start the EasyPRO program, you can either double click the desktop icon, or go to the Start menu > Programs > ON Semiconductor > EasyPRO 3.2 > EasyPRO. If this is the first time you use the EasyPRO, it is very possible that the firmware needs to be updated. Whenever a new version of the software kit comes out, the tester firmware is updated.
EASYPRO1GEVB PANELS Properties Panel DUT Details These fields show you some memory characteristics as defined in .dev file, such as minimum and maximum VCC that can be used with this part, memory size etc. They are not user editable. Working Conditions These fields show you the operating conditions with the tested device.
EASYPRO1GEVB RIBBONS Home Contains the most commonly used functions Open Device Open Device - prompts you to open a dev file. It will be opened in the DUT tab, filled by default with “0”. If another .dev file was already opened, the previous will be closed and the new one will be opened instead. Also, if there was a File tab opened, it is closed prior to opening the new device.
EASYPRO1GEVB Open Bin Open Bin - prompts you to open a bin file, which will be opened in the File tab, where it can be edited if desired. If there was no file opened until using this function, the File tab is opened with the content of the file. If a file is already opened, it is closed and the new one is opened instead.
EASYPRO1GEVB Save Bin Save Bin - saves the bin file you edited in the File tab Remember that this function overwrites the current file. If you want to save the file under a different name, use Save bin as function Save Bin as0 Save bin as - allows you to save the opened bin file with another name, without modifying the original one.
EASYPRO1GEVB Caption Bar Button Caption Bar - This button opens and/or closes the caption bar. This bar shows you different useful tips after executing a function. Output Window Button Output Window - In this window are displayed all messages, including error messages. Buffer Allows you to manage the data in the DUT tab http://onsemi.com...
EASYPRO1GEVB Erase All Erase All - clears the entire tab (filling with 0xFF), regardless of the Fill options. Fill Fill - you can fill the entire DUT tab, or just a section of it with a desired value. Start Address - the address from where to begin the fill operation.
EASYPRO1GEVB Value Value - the desired value to fill the buffer. Checksum Checksum - makes the sum of all words in the DUT tab and displays it in the output window. This information may be useful for faster comparison of the data inside the DUT. For a more rigorous check, use Verify, but it needs more time to complete. Copy from Pattern Copy from Pattern - copies the content of the File tab to DUT tab.
EASYPRO1GEVB Save DUT as HEX0 Save DUT as Hex - allows you to save the content of the DUT tab (the DUT memory mirror) into a hex file. The default location when saving this file is the Patterns directory under the EasyPRO location on your disk. Pattern With the functions found here you can manage the data in the File tab Open Hex...
EASYPRO1GEVB Erase All Erase All - clears the entire tab (filling with 0xFF) Copy from Buffer Copy from Buffer - copies the content of the DUT tab to File tab. This operation is useful to keep a backup copy of the DUT tab.
EASYPRO1GEVB Save Hex Save Hex - saves the hex file you edited in the File tab Remember that this function overwrites the current file. If you want to save the file under a different name, use Save hex as function. Save Hex as0 Save Hex as - allows you to save the opened hex file with another name, without modifying the original one.
EASYPRO1GEVB Device Functions Here there are some functions that helps you in order to make operations with the tested device Read Read - reads the memory and displays the content in the DUT tab. This operation is done under the operation details, details that can be edited in the corresponding menu.
EASYPRO1GEVB Device Start Device Start - Allows you to edit the start address of the device. Used in Read, Write, or Verify Block Size Block Size - Allows you to edit the number of bytes to be read or written. Used in Read, Write, or Verify Buffer Start Buffer Start - The buffer start address to begin the operations.
EASYPRO1GEVB Sequential Read Sequential Read - This mode allows a faster response time for reading large blocks of the memory. Used in Read or Verify Page Mode Page Mode - With this control you can set the write mode (page mode/byte mode) and the read mode (sequential/byte mode). For writing mode the default is page mode and for the read mode the default is sequential mode.
