6. Translation Formats
Translation formats are different ways of encoding the data in a data file.
A data file contains the information to be programmed into a device. The
data file could contain the fuse pattern and test vectors for a logic device
or the data for a memory device.
Generally, the data, such as the fuse pattern for a logic device, are created
on a development platform and are then stored in a particular data
translation format. When you want to transfer the data file to the
programmer, you will need to set up the programmer to handle the
correct translation format. During download, the programmer translates
the formatted data and stores them in user memory as a binary image file.
