I've raised this matter in the forum without reply - but can someone from Voltas please explain how to use the new EPROM facility in the next-gen dongle - see screenshot below?
At face value it looks like this facility will enable users to read (perhaps even write?) the code in module firmware but I'm guessing.
If I'm correct in my guess, please explain the following:
- How is the user meant to fill-out the 3 x boxes in the screen shot below: by which I mean -
- what is the nomenclature for memory hex addressing? Is the memory address a single location, or can the user enter an address range (if so, how is the latter done)?
- what is meant by length?
- am I correct in assuming that dec is simply a base 10 number - but for what (how is this field related to the address field)?
- what is meant by ALFO - and is this a user accessible field - and why is the default value of this field "33" - and what numbering base base is "33"(i.e. hex, or decimal)?
- What is R in the blue circle? Does this mean "read" and if so "read" what - the address in the module, the address in an external file, etc)?
- what is the nomenclature for memory hex addressing? Is the memory address a single location, or can the user enter an address range (if so, how is the latter done)?
- If the user successfully completes the required entries - what is the format of the data that is returned (please include a screenshot if possible)?. Can the user export the results? If so, how is this done?
- Can the user write to memory with this application? If so -
- can the user append a file containing the data to be written? If so, what is the format of this file?
- What are the steps in the write process?
- can the user append a file containing the data to be written? If so, what is the format of this file?
- Does Voltas have detailed user instructions for the new EPROM facility? If so - how can this document/video/help-file be accessed by users? If not, why not?
