Write Configuration Data to a Binary File (Configure Menu)

This writes the configuration data, for the circuit being displayed, to a file. The prefix will be the name you assigned to your circuit file, i.e., if the file you are working with is "circuit1.ad2" then the file that will be written will be named "circuit1.bin". The file will be written into the same directory that your circuit file is in. The path name for this file will be displayed in the lower left corner of the window (in the status bar) immediately after the file has been written in case there is any question regarding where it has gone.

The ".bin" file contains the binary configuration data that represents your circuit.

This file is in binary form. This format is recognized by many of the EPROM programmer software packages available from third parties.

The file may be used to program a parallel EPROM chip so that your circuit can be downloaded to the Field Programmable Analog Array chip directly from the EPROM.
