Device Protection
This allows the user to select either automatic protection (Automatic) or interactive protection (Interactive)
to protect the FLASH device from accidental over-erasure and over-programming. Automatic protection
will erase blocks from the device prior to programming, as necessary. Interactive protection will ask the
user before an erase occurs.In addition, None can be selected to disable device protection. Double click to
edit the setting.
Whilst connected to a device FDT keeps track of the state of the FLASH blocks and is able to determine
when a programming operation will over-program a region of FLASH memory.
Note If device protection is disabled the user is responsible for erasing the device prior to programming.

general FDT/target device status messages regarding high-level communications details. An Advanced
message level generates more detailed information regarding lower level communications details. Double
click to edit the setting.

Reinterrogate on Disconnect
This option forces FDT to reinterrogate Generic Boot devices on connection. With this option set to "No"
