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.

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.

Fuse Verification
A type of post-programming device check that checks the fuse pattern
programmed into a logic device against the pattern in user memory.
Fusemap
The fuse-level description portion of a programmable integrated circuit.
Fusemaps are typically files in JEDEC Standard #3A format and are
downloaded to PLD programmers for programming or verifying a
device.
High-speed Logic Drivers
A logic device test that increases the speed of the logic transitions
between 0 to 1 and 1 to 0 of the test vector input states. This test is a
diagnostic tool designed to help debug and classify test vector failures.
Specifically, this test is designed to help identify vector transitions that
are speed dependent.
I/O Address Offset
This value influences the beginning address where data is stored during a
file transfer operation. For uploads from the 2500, the I/O Offset is an
address value add to the RAM address for each transferred data byte. For
downloads, the I/O Offset is subtracted from the beginning address in
the formatted data file. The result is then added to the memory begin
address to determine where the block of data is loaded.
I/O Timeout
The amount of time that the programming electronics will wait for a data
transfer to begin.
I/O Translation Format
See Data Translation Format.
Illegal Bit
An illegal bit is a programmed location in a device that the data file
specifies should not be programmed.
Illegal Bit Check
A test that determines whether or not a socketed device contains any
illegal bits.
JEDEC
An acronym for Joint Electron Design Engineering Committee, which is a
committee of programmer and semiconductor manufacturers that
provide common standards for programmable issues. Examples include:
acceptable test characters for PLDs and standard data transfer/
programming formats for PLDs. JEDEC Standard #3A is the industry
standard for PLD formats.
JEDEC Standard #3A
The standard PLD data translation format (as defined by the JEDEC) for
PLD design software to communicate with PLD programmers. It defines
the states of all fuses in the device (the fusemap) and may include test
vectors for device testing.
LED
An acronym for Light Emitting Diode. The 2500 has one external LED on
the disk drive and numerous internal LEDs on the handler controller
board used for diagnostic tests.
Liner
The non-adhesive backing that holds the blank labels on a label roll.
Labels are removed from the liner by the 2500 and applied to the device.
Load Device
A device operation that copies data from a master device into user
memory.
Local Mode
One of two system operation modes for the ProMaster 2500. When placed
in local mode, the 2500 responds to commands sent either from the front
panel or its internal firmware. In this mode, the 2500 is not operating with
TaskLink. The other general operating mode for the 2500 is Remote
mode.
