This chapter describes the precautions which should be taken in order to use this product safely and properly. Be sure to read this chapter before using this product. 1.
WARNING Warning for Installation: • Do not set this product in water or areas of high humidity. Spilling water or some other liquid into the main unit can cause an unrepairable damage. Warnings for Use Environment: • The emulation pod is air-cooled with the ventilation slot. Therefore, do not block the ventilation slot. When heated to high temperatures, the emulation pod may not work properly. • This equipment is to be used in an environment with a maximum ambient temperature of 35°C.
(1) Set the target system on a platform to relax bends and relieve stress in the board. (2) The boundary between the firm and flexible parts of the flexible board does not ready bend. Do not bend it excessively. When bending the flexible board, keep R to 30 mm or more as shown at left. Figure 1.1 Note on handling the flexible cable PCA7733 REV.
IMPORTANT Note on Malfunctions in the PC4701 System: • If the emulator malfunctions because of interference such as external noise, do the following to remedy the trouble. (1) Press the RESET button on the emulator front panel. (2) If normal operation is not restored after step (1), shut OFF power to the emulator once and then reactivate it.
IMPORTANT Note on Differences between Actual MCU and Emulator: • Operations of the emulator differ from those of mask MCUs as listed below. (1) Reset condition (2) Initial values of internal resource data at power-on (3) Interrupt stack pointer after releasing reset (4) Internal memory (ROM and RAM) capacities, etc. Therefore, be sure to evaluate your system with an evaluation MCU. Before starting mask production, evaluate your system and make final confirmation with an ES (Engineering Sample) version MCU.
IMPORTANT Note on Interruption: • While the program is paused, interrupts are made by running a selected address loop. For this reason, timers and other functions are not stopped while the program is paused (including while debug programs are running). If an interrupt request is generated at any time other than when the program is being executed (while the user program is paused or a debug program is running), the interrupt is not generated because the emulator disables interrupts.
