9.7.2.4 Reuse Serial Data That Failed Programming

If any of the devices in the chain fail programming, the entire chain fails. All of the devices with serialization enabled will fail as well. The serialization data will be reused or skipped based on your settings. See the following example for more information:

You have a chain with three devices. Device 1 and Device 3 are serialization enabled. You have selected Serialization Data 1 to 100 for Device 1 and 501 to 600 for Device 3, and you have set to reuse any unused Serialization Data.

Device 2 is targeted for programming without serialization. See the figure below for an illustration.

At time t0, all devices in the chain passed programming so the Serialization Data indexes are advance to 2 and 502 for Device 3 and Device 1 respectively. At time t1 and t2, one of the devices failed programming so the device indexes are reused for time t3.

Note that at time t2, when Device 2 failed to program; Device 3 will not be programmed.
