Section on Manually Overriding PMA/PCS Register Values:

Based on the user choices made in the earlier sections, ACE has assigned the values for PMA

and PCS registers at this point. The advanced user however may want to change the pre-

defined value for one or more registers. This section of ACE GUI provides this option for

advanced users.
Please refer to the Section - Bypassing PCS by Manually Overriding Corresponding Register

for further details on this.
