Calculation mode
This mode can perform calculations only and can check whether a frequency is writable or not.
As with item 1), operations can be performed, but the button does not appear. To perform writes /
measurements, exit the software, connect the SG-WRITER to a PC, then relaunch the software.

9 Rev.7.4
6-2. Operation Buttons
1) Package Combo Box
This is the box for selecting the Package (JA/JC/DB/DC/CA/JF/CE/LB/LA/CG). Conditions for calculating
change by package. Make sure they are right for your product. (If you selected SG8002JC, you will not be able
to select M Rank.)
2) Fout Edit Box
This is the frequency input box. To improve calculating accuracy, please enter to six decimal places. The range
of frequencies for which input is possible is from 1125MHz (this can differ by condition):SG8002,
1166MHz:SG8003. If you enter a value that clearly exceeds the range (ex 333.333), the Calculate button will be
covered with the no mark , and you will be unable make calculations. The no mark will disappear and you will
be able to calculate when a value within the range is entered.
3) Function Radio Button
This is the button for selecting the OE terminal function.
 When the S(ST) OE terminal is Low, the internal oscillation circuit stops, and power consumption decreases. (This is most
appropriate for low power products.)
 When the P(OE) OE terminal is Low, output from the Fout terminal stops, but because the internal oscillation circuit is
oscillating, the oscillation start time rises during the transition of the OE terminal from Low to High. (This is most
appropriate for products requiring a high speed response.)
4) HTC Radio Button
This is the button for selecting electrical voltage and CMOS/TTL output.
 H 5.0V(4.5  5.5) CMOS output
 T 5.0V(4.5  5.5) TTL output
 C 3.3V(3.0  3.6) CMOS output (for specifications of 3.0V please consult seller.)
 D 2.5V(2.2  2.8) CMOS output
 E 1.8V(1.6  2.2) CMOS output
5) Rank Radio Button
This is the button for selecting frequency accuracy.
 B: frequency accuracy of  50 10-6(-20 C  70 C)
 C: frequency accuracy of 100 10-6 (-20 C  70 C)
 M: frequency accuracy of 100 10-6 (-40 C  85 C)
 L: frequency accuracy of 50 10-6 (-40 C  85 C)
6-3. Calculate Button
This button is for calculating the most appropriate value from frequency (Fout) and conditions (Function / HTC / Rank).
Deviance from frequency is displayed in blue letters in the Fcalc/ppm display area (bottom of Fout).
 This appears when the frequency exceeds the range and when calculating. It means that a calculation cannot be done.
 Fcalc frequency is displayed to five decimal places.
 ppm is displayed in units of 1 10-6 (For accuracy reasons, less than 1 10-6 is not displayed.)
 There are cases where due to Package/HTC/Rank and other settings, unwritable frequencies emerge.
1) Writable Frequencies
The Writer button is enabled , and the deviance from written frequency is displayed in blue letters.

10 Rev.7.4
2) Unwritable Frequencies
“This frequency need to be confirmed by EPSON”.is displayed. Please consult seller. When click OK button, A “No
answer ...” error is displayed in red in the Message bar, and Writer button is write disabled . Writing is not possible while
this is displayed.
 This can change due to setting conditions (Package/Rank).
6-4. Write and Test
When this button is clicked, the Write and Test dialog appears, and Write & Test and Monitor become possible.
1) (Write & Test)
This button is for Write and Test (Function Test).
 Fcalc Displays written frequency (MHz) and acceptable deviance (ppm).
 Fout Displays calculated value for output frequency (MHz) and deviance (ppm) from Fcalc.
Less than 1 10-6 is not displayed.
 Write enabled
 Write disabled
2) (Monitor)
This button is for monitoring SG8002/SG8003 after writing. (Write and Data Verification cannot be performed.) Test results
are displayed as  to the left of the function.
 Verify Data Function for comparing written data and data read by SG8002/SG8003
 Fout Function for comparing output frequency and acceptable deviation

11 Rev.7.4
6-5. Configuration Button
This button should be clicked when setting small details such as write conditions.
1) General Configuration
a) Users Level
 Customer Default
 Distributor Distributor settings
Revision history is saved in a file.
b) Engineer Name
This is necessary when Distributor is selected. (It will be saved as information in a file under product revision.)
