Serialization Parameters

TaskLink supplies a sample ESP called “

serializ.exe

” to use as a template

for developing your program. The source code (named “

serializ.c

”) for

this program is included with TaskLink. Figure 3-15 shows the

Serialization Parameters dialog box. To use

serializ.exe

to place a serial

number in programmer RAM, set the parameters as follows:

Note: For compatibility with external serialization programs you may have

written for HandlerLink, select Memory Buffer for the Serialization

Method.

External Serialization

Program (ESP) Serializ.exe

is used to illustrate passing parameters to the ESP. This is a

simple program that can be used to generate a serial number for each

device that programs successfully. It directs the labeler to print a label

with that serial number.

Some of the parameter options that you can pass to the external software

program on the Program command line include:

• Serial number’s address in the device

• Serial number’s format (decimal, hex, binary)

• Length (number of bytes)

• Byte order of high and low bytes

• Value used to increment each serial number

• Format of the serial number printed on the label (binary,

ASCII decimal, or ASCII hexadecimal)

3-26 ProMaster 2500 User Manual

The following example gives these sample values for the parameters: a

10-character ASCII hexadecimal serial number at address 12345

(hexadecimal), increase the serial number by an increment of 2 for each

device programmed, and print each serial number on the device label (in

hexadecimal). The Program entry field in the

Setup/Serialization

dialog

box might look like this:

serializ.exe

–l10 –fh –a12345 –i2 –h

Parameter Description

–a

Address of serial number.

Defines the device address (hexadecimal value) where the

serial number will be programmed in the device. For

example, –a12345 places the serial number at hexadecimal

address 12345.

Default

: Zero (–a0)

–f

Format of serial number.

Defines the format of the serial number in the device.

These three formats are supported:

–fb = Binary

–fd = ASCII decimal

–fh = ASCII hexadecimal

Default:

Binary (–fb)

–i

Serial number increment.

Defines the decimal value to be used to increment the

serial number after each successfully programmed

device. For example, –i2 increases the serial number by 2

for each device programmed.

Default:

1 (–i1)

-l

Length of serial number.

Defines the number of bytes the serial number occupies in

the device. The following settings are supported.

1 through 4 Binary

1 through 8 ASCII hexadecimal

1 through 10 ASCII decimal

Default:

2 (–l2)

–m

Pure Set gang serialization mode.

Serial numbers are generated one device size apart in

programmer RAM instead of in a single block just beyond

the fixed data in RAM. TaskLink then programs devices

in a single-pass operation with a set size equal to the

number of installed sockets.

–o

Byte order of serial number.

Serial numbers are placed in RAM with the most

significant byte (MSB) or the least significant byte (LSB) at

the first (lower) RAM address. This setting applies to

binary and ASCII formats. The settings are

–om = MSB at first RAM address (Motorola-style)

–oi = LSB at first RAM address (Intel-style)

Default:

MSB at first RAM address (–om)

ProMaster 2500 User Manual 3-27

Note: To enable printing a serial number on a label, enter two or more

consecutive percent signs (%) in the text field. You must enter one

percent sign for each digit specified with the

serializ.exe

length (–l)

command line parameter.

Restore Defaults

Selecting this command directs the 2500 to restore its programming

parameters to their original defaults (such as a two pass verify, I/O

address = FFFFFFFF, Security option = 0, and others).

Data and Program

Pull-down Menus

The commands listed on these two menus allow you to select the

individual parameters needed to process devices. These are the same

commands listed in the Edit Task dialog box used to create a Task. These

individual commands are primarily used during troubleshooting and

allow you to quickly change one or two parameters and run a test

without having to create and edit a new Task for each test cycle.

TaskLink’s menus and dialog boxes refer to a file stored on one of the

internal drives (MSM or floppy) as a

Programmer Disk File.

Utilities Pull-down

Several commands available on the Utilities pull-down menu are used to

perform special operations. The specific commands and their functions

on the 2500 are described below.

–s

Sumcheck calculation flag.

Used to provide a new sumcheck for display on the

TaskLink screen as new serial numbers are generated.

This does not affect device data.

–t

Label text format.

Defines how the serial number will be printed on the

label. The options are either decimal or hexadecimal.

–td = decimal

–th = hexadecimal

Default:

Decimal (–td)

–w

Warning limit.

Sets a warning level before the serial number limit is

reached when an ending serial number is specified. If the

current serial number is within the ending serial number,

minus the warning limit, TaskLink displays a warning

message.

Default:

Zero
