datafilename - defines name of data file, which contains serialization data. When serialization
requires new serial value, the data file will be loaded by standard PG4UW "Load file"
procedure to PG4UW buffer. File format can be binary or Hex file (Intel Hex etc.). The auto-
recognition system recognizes proper file format and forces load of file in the right file format.
Data filename is relative to parent (playlist) serialization file.
Example of playlist serialization file:
;---- following file header is required -----------------
FILETYPE=PG4UW SERIALIZATION PLAYLIST FILE
;----- references to serialization data files
[nav1] file1.dat
[nav2] file2.dat
[nav3] file3.dat
...
[label n] filex.dat
;-------- end of file ------------------------
For more detailed and fully functional example of serialization type From-file playlist, look the
example files placed in the PG4UW installation directory in Examples\ subdirectory as
following:
The typical path can look like this:
C:\Program Files\Dataman\Programmer\Examples\Serialization\fromfile_playlist_example\
You can test the serialization by following steps:
1. start PG4UW
2. you need to have our programmer connected and correctly found in PG4UW

serialization file fromfile_playlist.ser
