▸ Code as ASCII
With this option activated, serial numbers are legible as
ASCII characters.
▸ Initial serial number
This field defines the initial value from which serial
numbers are to be computed.
▸ Next S/N
This field defines how the following serial number is to be
generated.
If The same is selected, the serial number does not
change. If One interval higher is selected, the following
number will be larger by the value of ▸ Serial number
interval while if One interval lower is selected, it will
reduce by that value.
The Generated LSFR option generates the numbers in a
pseudo-random sequence. This means that the sequence
will always be the same if the same Initial serial
number and the same Serial numbers step is used.
The Manual option shows a field, in the serial numbers
window, where the serial number in the hexadecimal form
can be entered before programming. When this option is
selected, the serial number can be entered using the /sn
commandline parameter as well.
▸ Destination
This panel determines the memory location in which the
serial numbers are to be stored. Code/main memory,
data memory and ID positions are available as
options.
▸ Hexadecimal address of first word
This address defines where the first word of the serial
number is to start in the selected memory type.
▸ Fill with RETLW instruction
Individual words of the serial number can be filled with
RETLW instruction in Microchip microcontrollers. This
option is available only if the serial number is located in
the code/main memory.
▸ Characters per word
This panel determines how many serial number
characters form one word. Options of 1 to 4 characters
per word are available.
▸ Sequence
This panel sets how individual serial number characters
and words are to be ordered.
For example, if you have a base 10 serial number
consisting of four characters organized as 2 characters
per word and you are working let's say with 1234 as the
serial number, it will be saved in the following ways:
HiLohilo:1234
hiloHiLo:3412
LoHilohi:2143
lohiLoHi:4321

Checksum
▸ Show checksum in status bar
After enabling of this setting the checksum of the code
memory will be shown on the status bar.
Note: Doubleclick on the checksum value in the status bar
will cause the value recalculation.
▸ Write checksum to log file
Enables writing of the loaded data file checksum to a log
file.
Note: The checksum is recalculated on data file load. This
function have to be enabled before the file load, else the
checksum value will not be written to the log file.
