Select The Allocation Block to be extracted by moving the bar from 1 to 5.
Press the Extract button.
The Program Loader Monitor will then ask you to select the “.inf” file to write to. The “.inf” file is normally created
when an application is compiled by the Programming Tool and is located in the same directory as the DVC
project file.
Find and select the appropriate “.inf” file and press the Open button.
A Progress bar showing the data being downloaded and processed will appear and the Extract button will show
the text “Please Wait”. When the data extraction is finished, the Progress bar will disappear and the Extract
button will contain the text “Extract”.
You should note that in addition to creating an “.inf” file the extraction process would also create a “.csv” file with
the Memory bucket name, which contains the actual data in an Excel spreadsheet readable format.

Extract and Erase All
In order to extract data from all Allocation Blocks, the user must follow these steps:

The Loader monitor will then ask which “.inf” file to load. The “.inf” file is created when an application is

A Progress bar showing the data being downloaded and processed will appear for each Allocation Block. When
the data extraction is finished, the Progress bar will disappear and all 5 Allocation Blocks will be cleared.
