Manual

DIAMONDMAX VL 17 – INTRODUCTION

1 – 2

Conventions

If there is a conflict between text and tables, the table shall be accepted as being correct.

Key Words

The names of abbreviations, commands, fields and acronyms used as signal names are in all uppercase type

(e.g., IDENTIFY DRIVE). Fields containing only one bit are usually referred to as the “name” bit instead of

the “name” field.

Names of drive registers begin with a capital letter (e.g., Cylinder High register).

Numbering

Numbers that are not followed by a lowercase “b” or “h” are decimal values. Numbers that are followed by

a lowercase “b” (e.g., 01b) are binary values. Numbers that are followed by a lowercase “h” (e.g., 3Ah) are

hexadecimal values.

Signal Conventions

Signal names are shown in all uppercase type.

All signals are either high active or low active signals. A dash character (-) at the end of a signal name

indicates that the signal is low active. A low active signal is true when it is below ViL and is false when it is

above ViH. A signal without a dash at the end indicates that the signal is high active. A high active signal is

true when it is above ViH and is false when it is below ViL.

When a signal is asserted, it means the signal is driven by an active circuit to its true state.

When a signal is negated, it means the signal is driven by an active circuit to its false state.

When a signal is released, it means the signal is not actively driven to any state. Some signals have bias

circuitry that pull the signal to either a true or false state when no signal driver is actively asserting or negating

the signal. These instances are noted under the description of the signal.

Our support team searches for useful product information and answers to frequently asked questions. If you find an inaccuracy in our frequently asked questions, please let us know by using our contact form.

I am unable to copy large files to my hard disk drive, why is that? Verified

It's possible that the hard disk drive uses the FAT32 file system. This limits the size of files to around 4GB but can cause problems with files from 2GB and up. To be able to use larger files, the hard disk drive needs to be formatted to a different file system, for example NTFS. Caution! When formatting the hard disk drive, all files on that drive will be lost!

What is the difference between a hard disk drive and an SSD? Verified

A hard disk drive has multiple disks that move. It allows for large amounts of data to be stored, but uses a lot of power and is vulnerable. An SSD has no moving parts, but uses chips like a USB stick. It has the advantage of being fast and light, but allows for less data storage.
