Verification: Sonetik Production Log
Definitions
Term Definition
Production Log The system used to save Profile Loads done in the Production Tool.
Profile The set of circuit parameters as specified by Sonetik that determines a products output performance.
PGM or PGM file An engineering file that lists all parameters of a Profile. This file is considered the master specification for a given Profile.
Circuit Hash A way to uniquely identify the content of the circuit. A parameter change will also change the circuit hash. Each Sonetik Profile has a corresponding and unique circuit hash.
Master Hash List A list of Sonetik Profiles with version and hash. This list is managed independently from the production tool which allows us to use the hash to also validate the production tool.
Sonetik Profile Programming Validation Report A final report run after programming to verify that the appropriate Profile was loaded to a device.
Methods

How to verify or update the hashes in the Master Hash List

  1. A compatible circuit is acquired that has been cleared of any data.
  2. Intricon’s engineering software is used to load the Profile PGM to the circuit.
  3. Use the Production Tool to read the circuit and generate a Circuit Hash.
  4. Compare the generated hash to the record for this Profile within the Master Hash List.
  5. Any invalid hashes should be updated to the newly generated hash.
