6.12 Actions Menu
Menu to simplify the issuing of commands that involve the loading and saving of files to and from the
MCU. Such commands all need a file name typed on the command line which is tiresome to do
accurately. Using these menu items brings up a 'file open' or 'file save' dialog as appropriate, in which
the user may select a file name in the usual way. Closing the dialog then fills in the command line and
executes the command. Actions involving transfers to and from MCU-controlled memory will be
grayed out (unavailable) unless FLASH is unlocked and the status line reads 'Monitor Mode'.
Connect Executes the Connect / Disconnect command (page 43) to open the
serial port (COM port).
Reset Executes the Reset command (page 56) to send a reset signal to the
MCU. Note that this is only available if your hardware supports it, and
the COM port is connected.
Unlock Executes the Unlock (page 65)command to send the security bytes to
the MCU. Not available when disconnected. Shortcut: Ctrl+U
Load S19 MCU... Opens a dialog for the user to select an S19 format file for loading to
the MCU. The Load Memory (page 51) command is then executed via
the command line.
Save MCU to S19... Saves a block of MCU memory to a file in S19 format. An address
input dialog will appear for the user to define the starting and ending
addresses of the block to be saved, followed by a file-save dialog. The
Save Memory command (page 57) is then executed via the command
line.
Verify S19... Opens a dialog for the user to select an S19 format file for verifying
MCU memory. The Verify command (page 66) is then executed via the
command line.
Load Binary to MCU... Opens a dialog for the user to select a binary image file (usual
extension: .obj or .bin). A second dialog box appears to request a
loading address. If a valid file is selected, the file is opened and loaded
to MCU controlled memory via the Command edit box, as though the
Load Memory command (page 51) had been issued.
Save MCU to Binary... Saves a block of MCU-controlled memory to a binary image file. An
address input dialog will appear for the user to define the starting and
ending addresses of the block to be saved, followed by a file-save
dialog. The Save Memory command (page 57) is then executed via the
command line.
Local
Sub-menu allows the user to load, save and verify S19 files against local memory. These commands
do not require an MCU to be connected.
