Important notice in function test

To perform function test after programming a PLD chip, the

input file must contain the test vectors or the user has to have

created the vectors by himself, in the options under the

operation menu, function test is enabled by default, which

means after programming the PLD, the DATAMAN-48XP will

perform the function test automatically, if no vector is in the

buffer, the DATAMAN-48XP will report “no test vector in

buffer”, if the test vector does not match the behavior of the

chip after the vector test, an error will be displayed along with

vector number and which pin expected low/high but received

high/low. For PLD devices in PLCC packages (GAL 20V8 as

example), the DATAMAN-48XP software only supports 24 pin

in DIP if you need to program a 28 PLCC chip with a PLCC

adapter, the DATAMAN-48XP will program the chip but the

function test will fail since the pin is mismatched with the chip

(the chip is 28 pin but is emulated as a 24 pin chip with the

adapter), the vector data will not match the device data in pin

out.
