Glossary
Action Symbol
Found in various locations on the TaskLink screen depending on the
operation being performed. The action symbol rotates to indicate that the
2500 is performing an operation.
ADC Optic
A special function optic pair that uses a light emitter and collector to
detect the leading edge of labels. The optics detect the change in the level
of light passing through the combined label and liner versus light passing
through the liner alone. (ADC is an acronym for Analog-to-Digital
Converter, the circuit design used in this optic.)
Address
A coded instruction designating the location of data or program
segments in storage.
Address Offset
A value subtracted from addresses during input translation and added to
addresses during output translation.
Administrator Mode
One of two TaskLink modes of operation. (The other mode is called
Operator mode.) Administrator mode is intended for use by the
ProMaster 2500 system administrator to create Tasks and Kits. It allows
access to all TaskLink commands. The Administrator mode lets you edit
Tasks and Kits. The Operator mode does not allow you to edit Tasks and
Kits.
Algorithm
The software file containing information to program a specific device,
usually contained on a floppy disk.
Approval
Indication that a device manufacturer has tested an algorithm to support
a specific device on a programmer. The level of an approval varies by
device manufacturer, but usually includes both yield and waveform
analysis.
Base
The portion of the 2500 below the main plate. It includes all the circuit
boards, cables, power supplies, and front panel.
Baud Rate
A measure of data flow. The number of signal elements per second based
on the duration of the shortest element. When each element carries one
bit, the Baud rate is numerically equal to bits per second.

Blank Check
A device check that checks a device for programmed bits. If no
programmed bits are found, the device is considered blank.
Block Size
The number of bytes (display as a hexadecimal number on the TaskLink
screen) to be transferred in a data transfer. The beginning of the block is
defined by a begin address, and the end of the block is the sum of the
block size and the begin address minus one.
Carriage
The beam is mounted on the carriage assembly, responsible for
transporting the beam in its left-to-right direction of travel. The carriage
is driven in the left-to-right direction by the traverse motor. The carriage
is mounted on the lead screw and the front and rear carriage shafts. The
carriage also houses the holding pins for the air cylinder.
CFM
Acronym for Cubic Feet per Minute. Used to describe air velocity.
Chuck
The removable end of the beam assembly that uses a rubber tip to achieve
a vacuum seal on the device body. When the seal has been achieved, the
device can be picked up by the beam and transported through the
system.
Clamps
The mechanical assemblies that apply pressure on the programming
module to hold it in position while the system is processing devices. The
two clamps (front and rear) release the module when the system is not
waiting to perform a device operation requiring the programming
module.
Communications
Parameters
The various settings that determine the I/O characteristics of your
equipment. The parameters include baud rate, stop bits, data bits,
handshaking, and others.
Computer Remote Control
A command set for operating the 2500 remotely. These commands are
usually the basis for external software drivers, created to operate a
programmer from a PC or other host. See also Remote Mode.
Contacts
The electrically conductive leads in the programming module that
provide the electrical connection between the device and the 2500
programming electronics.
Continuity Check
A device check that tests for open device pins before performing a device
operation.
CPI
An acronym for Characters Per Inch. Used to describe various label font
sizes.
CRC
An acronym for Computer Remote Control. See Remote Mode and
Computer Remote Control.
Data Bits
A communication parameter that specifies the number of bits per
character packet in a serial data stream.
Data Word Width
The word width of the data to be used during a device operation. For
8-bit (or above) devices, the maximum is 64, and the minimum word
width is equal to the device width. For 4-bit devices, the word width can
be 4, 8, 16, or 32. This value should match the word width of the data bus
in the target system for the device being programmed.

ProMasater 2500 User Manual A-3
Device
Term referring specifically to the programmable IC that is to be processed
through the ProMaster 2500 system. This is the part that will be
programmed and labeled by the 2500.
Device Block Size
The size of device data to be used in device operations.
Device Operation
A term that usually refers to any electronic operation performed on the
device while it is in the programming module. The possible operations
include loading, programming, verifying, erasing, or running pre-
programming device tests.
Device Word Width
The number of bits in the data word of the device.
DIP
An acronym for Dual In-line Package. The device leads on this package
type are inserted through holes in the printed circuit board.
Dialog Box
A window that appears on the PC screen when TaskLink is being used.
A dialog box allows the user to modify parameters that define how the
2500 processes devices.
Download Data
A file operation that moves a data file from a host computer to the 2500’s
RAM or disk.
E-MICRO
An acronym for Programmable Microcontroller. A type of device
technology.
Entry Field
See Field.
EPROM
An acronym for Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory. (Usually
refers to UV erasable memories.)
EEPROM
An acronym for Electronically Erasable Programmable Read-Only
Memory. The device can be either completely or partially erased
electrically in circuit or on the 2500.
Electronic ID
The combination of bytes that identify the device number and
manufacturer of a programmable device.
Enhanced Security Fuse
Capability
Found on EMICROs, the Enhanced Security Fuse Capability allows
security fuse data to be stored in a data file. For more information, or to
see if a device supports this capability, see the device manufacturer’s data
book.
ESD
An acronym for Electrostatic Discharge.
Field
A space in a TaskLink dialog box in which you can enter information.
Also known as the parameter entry field.
Filename
The name of the disk file to use during file operations. The filename must
follow standard DOS conventions: up to eight alphanumeric characters,
followed by an optional three-character file extension, with the two fields
separated by a period. A filename used in TaskLink can also include the
drive and path. Two examples of valid filenames are
27256.dat
and
C:\data\filename.ext
.
Firmware Keys
A special set of key commands entered from the front panel while the
2500 is in Local mode. These commands allow the system administrator
or service personnel to change certain operating parameters.
Front Panel
The keyboard and display located on the lower right side of the 2500
base.
