You can add devices only while using JTAG mode or In-Socket Programming mode. You can add only a configuration device, MAX^® 3000 device, or MAX 7000 device while using In-Socket Programming Mode. In Passive Serial mode, the Add Device button in the Programmer window and the Add Device command (right button pop-up menu) are dimmed to indicate that they are not available.

You can add a device to the chain for one of the following reasons:

• You can add a device to bypass it (that is, pass without performing any programming action on it). You are permitted to add any device from the Device Family and Device Name lists of the Select Device dialog box for bypassing purposes. When you add such a device to the chain, all programming options—Program/Configure, Verify, Blank-Check, Examine, and Security Bit—which are located in the programming list, are dimmed to indicate that they are not available.

• You can add a configuration device to blank-check or examine it. When you add a configuration device to the chain, you can turn on the programming options, Blank-Check or Examine. The remaining programming options are not available.

• You can add a MAX 3000 device or MAX 7000 device to blank-check, examine, or turn on the security bit for it. When you add a MAX 3000 device or MAX 7000 device to the chain, you can turn on the programming options, Blank-Check, Examine, or Security Bit. The remaining programming options are not available.
