In order to transfer the data from the current mask into dongle, execute command Dongle | Write from the menu.
In the process recording of data, GrdUtil.exe will automatically transfer all information from the current mask into the dongle and correct the boundaries of hardware locks in case they are changed.
According to Guardant ideology the recording of data into the dongle memory areas protected by hardware locks for writing is impossible. For example, at the attempt to write into locked address from within the application, GrdWrite function will inform on successful completion of operation, whereas no recording is actually performed.
Therefore every time you need to write the new data into protected area the dongle memory is completely rewritten. In this case, the following sequence of Guardant API operations is performed by GrdUtil.exe:
- Dongle memory gets purged (GrdInit operation)
- Information from the mask is written into the dongle (GrdWrite operation)
- Hardware locks are set on the selected memory area (GrdProtect operation)
