▸ Do not perform blank check after
erasing
This option speeds up the programming process and is
useful especially for debugging. The danger is that an
incorrectly erased device is subsequently incorrectly
programmed and the fault only gets detected later. On
the other hand, a device is erased incorrectly only once in
several hundred attempts.
▸ Do not erase device before
programming
The device is not erased before programming.
▸ Do not erase data memory before its
programming
This option only concerns programming of Atmel AVR
devices e.g. ATmega8. Data memory of this family
devices does not require to be erased before
programming. If this option is not activated, whole device
will be erased before programming.
▸ Do not verify unprogrammed words at
the end of the memory
If there is a location at the end of the code/main memory
containing only default values, it is not verified.
This option speeds up the verification of the programmed
memory as the content of the “empty” memory at its end
usually does not matter.
▸ Do not verify
This option completely switches off the verification of a
programmed device. Such off-switching can radically
speed up the programming process during development.
This option must not be activated for production as
correctness of the programmed content would not be
guaranteed.
▸ Verify with two supply voltages
This option is available only for FORTE and only for the
internal power supply from the programmer. It allows you
to perform the verification at two different power supply
voltages defined by the user.
Some device manufacturers recommend to verify the
content after production programming at two different
voltages corresponding with the approved range of the
device's power supply voltages.
