The Serialization Dialog screen, shown in Figure 8.2, allows the user to configure how serialization is done. Serialization can be enabled, or disabled, by selecting the check mark in the ENABLE Serialization check-box. When serialization is disabled all edit lines and check boxes are disabled. When serialization is enabled, most fields have to be set to ensure that the result will be as the user expects. The necessary fields include:

YYYY-1234(5) - (SN Format F0) Serial number has 8 or 9 characters depending on other settings. First four characters specify the year, and the remaining 4 or 5 characters specify the serial number up to a maximum of:
9999 - when BCD memory format is selected, or if Ascii format with Decimal radix is selected (i.e. 20039999).
0xFFFF (65535) - when HEX memory format is selected, or if Ascii format with Hex radix is selected (i.e. 2003aab0).
YYMM-1234(5) - (SN Format F1) Serial number has 8 (BCD) or 9 (HEX) characterscharacters depending on other settings. First two characters specify the last two digits of the year, next two characters specify the month, and the remaining 4 or 5 characters specify the serial number up to a maximum of:
9999 - when BCD memory format is selected, or
if Ascii format with Decimal radix is selected (i.e. 03059999).
0xFFFF (65535) - when HEX memory format is selected, or if Ascii format with Hex radix is selected (i.e. 0305aab0).
YYMMDD-1234 - (SN Format F5) Serial number has 10 characters. First six characters contain date (year, month, day of month) and remaining 4 characters specify the serial number, e.g. 1205309999.
YYDDD-1234(5) - (SN Format F4) Serial number has 9 (BCD) or 10 (HEX) characters. First five characters contain date (year, day of year from 1 to 366) and remaining 4 or 5 characters specify the serial number up to a maximum of 9999 or 65535 respectively, e.g. 123559999 or 1235565535.
12345678 - (SN Format F2) 8 digit serial number without date stamp. The maximum value is 99999999.
1234(5) - (SN Format F3) 4 (BCD) or 5 (HEX) digits serial number without date stamp. The 4 or 5 characters specify the serial number up to a maximum of 9999 or 65535.
Custom - (SN Format F6) 4 to 256 ASCII characters or hexadecimal numbers entered manually or from the Bar-Code Reader.
from File - (SN Format F7) 4 to 256 ASCII characters or hexadecimal numbers taken from a user created file.

The location in the target device's flash memory where the SN will be stored is specified in the \Memory Location - SN Start Address in Memory" field of the serialization dialog screen (see Figure 8.3). Specified address must be even and should be specified in empty memory space, not used by program code or data block. However, if you'd like to integrate the SN with existing code, by programming the SN to a code location, then check the box Remove code contents in the location where the serialization and model are defined .
The SN memory formats will be described in the following subsections.
...
The Device Serialization box, located on the main programming dialog screen shown in Figure 4.1 and isolated in Figure 8.4), contains SN and model information. The first two read-only lines contain information taken from the target device during the read process. The first line shows the Model/Group/Revision text and the second line shows the SN. The following two lines contain SN and model information that will be programmed next generated automatically according to the Serialization setup.
The current target's SN and model information can be read at any time by pressing the "READ / COPY" button located in the main dialog shown in Figure 4.1.
