5.5.1 Toolbar
A toolbar is a panel with quick selection buttons located
under the program menu (see
Program Controls).
If you want to remove the toolbar, simply uncheck the
Display icons and descriptions on the toolbar button
options in the Settings menu as described in
Program
settings
.
5.5.2 Status Bar
The status bar is a panel in the bottom part of the window
(see
Program Controls). It presents information on the
programmer, the device, changes to the file since the last
saving, etc.
Individual parts of the status bar react to double-clicking
and to the context menu that opens after right-clicking.
If you want to hide or re-display the status bar, choose
Program settings ➙ Panels ➙ Display the status bar
in the lower part of the window.
5.5.3 Menus
The following texts describe in detail individual items in
the UP software menus.
Menu commands can be triggered with mouse by clicking
on a particular menu item or from the keyboard by
pressing the key together with the shortcut, i.e. the
underlined letter in the menu.
The menu bar consists of the following menus
(categories):
•
File Menu
•
Edit Menu
•
View Menu
•
Device Menu
•
Options Menu
•
Help Menu
File Menu
File ➙ New
Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+N
The program creates a new empty file. If the currently
open file has not been saved, the program prompts the
user to save it.
File ➙ Open...
Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+O
The program opens the Windows standard dialog listing
the files saved on the disc. The supported file formats are
described in
Appendix C: Intel-HEX File Format. Files with
extensions .hex or .a43 are loaded as Intel-HEX, others as
binary. There are also filters available making it possible
to open all files as .hex or as .bin.
File ➙ Open next file...
The program imports another .hex or .bin file with an
optional offset. This function is useful if the user needs to
load another file into device's memory. Files with
extensions .hex or .a43 are loaded as Intel-HEX, others as
.bin.
For example, this command provides for merging of
several .hex files (e.g. bootloader + program).

When in Open next file dialog the user selects
Autoload next time, the file will be loading after the
main data file automatically. Then the file is listed in the
File ➙ Open next: menu. Using this menu item the
autoload can be disabled again.
This way it is possible to autoload one file.
File ➙ Open next:
When this menu item is enabled, it shows that the
automatic load of next file is enabled. By clicking this
menu item it is possible to disable the automatic file
load.
File ➙ Reload actual file
Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+R
The program re-opens (i.e. re-reads from the disc) the
currently open file. This command is useful if you know
that the file on the disc has changed and you want to load
these changes into the program.
If you are using Program settings ➙ Files ➙ Do
automatic check for newer versions of actual file,
the program automatically notifies the user of a change in
the currently open file and offers its reloading.
File ➙ Save
Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+S
The program saves the file on a disc. If you want save
your file under a different name than the current one, use
the Save As... command instead.
The program can skip unused locations of the memory.
See Program settings for details.
File ➙ Save as...
The program saves the open file on a disc under a new
name using the Windows standard dialog.
The program can skip unused locations of the memory
while saving or not to save certain selected locations.
See
Program settings for details.
File ➙ Import data memory from
file...
Using the Windows standard dialog, the program reads
and imports the content of a data (EEPROM) memory
saved in a different file. This allows the user to load a
data memory if this has not been saved in the same file
as the code/main memory (this concerns ATmega8
microcontrollers, for example).
Important warning
Such a file, regardless of its content, is read from the zero
address as if it contained only the data (EEPROM)
memory. This means that a file generated normally by a
compiler cannot be correctly read using this command.
File ➙ Open file with data memory
automatically
With this option selected, the program automatically
loads the file for the data memory alongside with loading
the file for the code/main memory. This option is active
only if a separate file is loaded for the data memory.
File ➙ New project
Keyboard shortcut: Shift+Ctrl+N
This command creates a new project.
It is especially advisable to use project files if you
frequently switch between programming different device
types or if you are using several different programmers. A
project file contains all the corresponding settings and
provides for loading of all of them in one step.
File ➙ Open project...
Keyboard shortcut: Shift+Ctrl+O
Using the Windows standard dialog, the program opens
an already existing project file saved on a disc. If an
additional file had been opened together with the project,
Page 42
such a file opens as well.
File ➙ Save project...
Keyboard shortcut: Shift+Ctrl+S
Using the Windows standard dialog, the program saves
the current project under a new name. Saving of the
project under the same name is done automatically as
well as saving the program settings, for example.
In the Save project dialog using Load project
unlocked option it is possible to set that the project will
not be locked after load.
Using Add note option it is possible to add a note to the
project file, which will be shown after load of the project.
File ➙ Close project
Keyboard shortcut: Shift+Ctrl+W
The program terminates the work with the currently open
project, saves the project file on the disc and returns to
the state in which it was before the new project was
opened.
File ➙ Recent projects
This function remembers the last 10 opened projects.
Clicking the name of one of them opens the project.
File ➙ Read calibration data...
Using the Windows standard dialog, the program opens a
file with the calibration data and loads the data in the
memory.
File ➙ Save calibration data...
Using the Windows standard dialog, the program creates
a file with the device's calibration data previously read
from the device connected to the programmer. This
calibration data can be reloaded using Read calibration
data if the device gets erased in the meantime.
For further information on the program's support of work
with the calibration memory see
Calibration Memory
Support
.
File ➙ Export to bin...
This command saves binary data from the code/main
memory, from the data memory or from ID positions in a
selected file.
16 or 8 bits word width can be selected for the data to be
saved.
File ➙ Exit
Standard Windows keyboard shortcut: Alt+F4
Keyboard shortcut: Alt+X
Warning
If closing of the program is forced by the Turn
Computer Off command and the program
does not receive the user's confirmation, the
system closes it forcibly after some time
without saving the open file or settings.
If the program is currently working with the
hardware, it refuses all system's requests to
turn off and can be seen as “not responding”
by the system.
This command closes the program. If the open file has
changed, the program prompts the user to save the
changes.
Edit Menu
Edit ➙ Fill with value...
The program fills a memory location with a specified
value. This command is used especially for erasing (filling
with ones) or zeroing (filling with zeros) a particular
location. Yet it can be filled with any value or with random
data.
When the Fill with value... command is called, the
program presets the selected memory according to the
