Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 DOP-B Series Human Machine Interface (HMI)
DOP-B series HMI is manufactured by adopting easy-to-use software and high-speed hardware
to provide a powerful and stable programmable interface. Screen Editor software program is a
user-friendly program editor of DOP-B series HMI for Windows. Please refer to the following
section for an introduction to its features and functions.
1.2 Features
External Controller Serial Drivers Support
DOP-B series HMIs support more than twenty brands of external controllers, including
Delta, Omron, Siemens, Mitsubishi, etc. All of the newly supported communication
protocol information could be found on our website
(http://www.delta.com.tw/industrialautomation/
requirements. (All other trademarks in this manual are property of their respective
companies.)
) for upgrade to meet the users’
Windows® Fonts Support
Screen Editor software program also provides all fonts used by Windows®.
Quick Execution and Communication Macro
Screen Editor software program is able to handle complicated calculations by executing
macros. In addition, the users can create a communication protocol by using
communication macro command and connect to the specific system or the controller via
the COM port.
Rapid USB Upload/Download
Not only RS-232, the users also can use Screen Editor to upload and download screen data
and programs via USB interface. Screen Editor software program shortens the upload /
download time by using USB interface.
Recipes
Screen Editor software program provides a useful recipe editor that is similar to Microsoft
Excel for the users to edit recipe easily and input multiple recipes simultaneously. When
the users need to download multiple recipes simultaneously, the recipe function can swap
Revision May, 2010 1-1
Chapter 1 Introduction
internal memory of HMI. After the users finish editing the recipes, the users can download
the recipes individually.
Direct Communication with Three External Controllers
DOP-B series HMI is capable of connecting to three different or the same controllers
directly via three communication ports.
Support Multiple Controllers Connections
One DOP-B series HMI is able to connect to multiple controllers in serial through RS-485
interface of COM2 and COM3 ports.
(NOTE 1)
.
Simulation Function
(NOTE 2)
Screen Editor software program provides simulation feature which allows the users to
develop and debug software on a PC connected to DOP-B series HMI before downloading it
to DOP-B series HMI.
Off-line Simulation: When the editing and compile operation is completed, the users can
use off-line simulation function to simulate HMI operation and check if it is correct on a
stand-alone a PC directly without connecting to the controller.
On-line Simulation: When the editing and compile operation is completed, the users can
use on-line simulation function to simulate HMI operation and check if it is correct on a
stand-alone PC directly with connecting to the controller.
USB Host Port (USB Host) Equipped
DOP-B series HMI has a built-in USB Host interface for the connection to USB disk, card
reader and printer with a USB socket. The users can save data, copy programs, print the
screen immediately and increase the data storage space.
Print Function
DOP-B series HMI supports the printers which have COM port or USB interface.
Multiple Security Protection
DOP-B series HMI provides passwords to protect the designer’s intellectual property rights
and also for the users to set the user priority for important elements. Only the users
whose priority is higher than the element can use the element.
Multi-language Support
Up to 16 languages can be selected and used without installing a multilingual operating
system. A multi-language environment is very important and enables the users to work
more efficiently.
1-2 Revision May, 2010
Chapter 1 Introduction
NOTE
1) The controller should provide RS-485 interface.
2) Off-line/On-line simulation functions are only provided for some parts of the controllers. Also,
the execution time of on-line simulation only can continue 30 minutes. After the simulation
time has finished, HMI will return to the main screen of Screen Editor V2.0 software program
from simulation window automatically.
3) When executing simulation function, the resolution of PC screen should be set to 24bit and
higher, otherwise the simulation function may not work normally.

Chapter 2 Working with Hardware Devices
2.1 Usage of SD Card and USB Disk
SD Card
SD card (supports SDHC) can be used to save and transmit data. The supporting file
format is FAT32. Before using a SD card, reformatting (FAT32) via HMI is needed. Only SD
card that formatted by HMI can be used on both HMI and Windows® OS system. (Even it
can be read/written in some format, but faults may occur due to different format among
Win95/98/2000/XP versions)
USB Disk
USB disk can be used to save data. It also can be used to copy data from HMI and its
format is FAT32 as well. When using USB disk to save data, we recommend that the
storage capacity should be less than 2GB and the users should enter system screen first
and then remove the USB disk. Follow this process can ensure that the data is saved
completely in USB disk.

3.3 Internal Memory
There are six kinds of registers for selection. They are internal register $, Non-volatile Internal
Register $M, Indirect Address Register *$, Recipe Number Register RCPNO, Recipe Group
Register RCPG and Recipe Register RCP (Fig. 3-3-1). For more details on settings, please refer to
the following descriptions.
Fig. 3-3-1 HMI Internal Memory
3.3.1 Internal Register (Read / Write) : $
Word Access : $n ( n : 0-65535 )
Bit Access : $n.b( n : 0-65535, b : 0-15 )
Delta DOP-B series HMI provides 65536 16-bit internal registers ($0.0 - $65535.15).
Note: The setting values of this register are not retained when power is off.
Non-volatile Internal Register (R/W): $M
Word access: $Mn (n: 0~1023)
Bit access: $Mn.b (n: 0~1023, b: 0~15)
Delta DOP series HMI provides 1024 16-bit non-volatile internal registers ($M0 ~ $M1023).
3.3.2 Non-volatile Internal Register (Read / Write) : $M
Word Access : $Mn ( n : 0-1023 )
Bit Access : $Mn.b( n : 0-1023, b : 0-15 )
Delta DOP-B series HMI provides 1024 16-bit non-volatile internal registers($M0.0 -
$M1023.15). As the setting values of this register are retained when power is off, the user
can use this register to store the important data or records.
Revision May, 2010 3-17
Chapter 3 Creating and Editing Screens
3.3.3 Indirect Address Register (Read / Write) : *$
Word Access：*$n( n : 0-65535 )
Indirect address register is an area where an address is stored. The user must get the
address from *$n and then get the values stored in this address.
For example: if $7 = 20; $20 = 39; then *$7 = 39.
The general formula：if $n = m; $m = x, then *$n = x (m : 0-65535)。
The value of m must not be more than 65535.
Note: The setting values of this register are not retained when power is off.
3.3.4 Recipe Number Register (Read / Write) : RCPNO
This register is used to specify the recipe data number (Fig. 3-3-2). When upload/download
the data to HMI or the external controller, HMI or the external controller uses the settings of
recipe number register to read/write the data of recipe. If RCPNO is set to 1, it indicates it is
defined as 1
st
number of recipe data. If RCPNO is set to 4, it indicates it is defined as 4th
number of recipe data. In addition, when editing the recipe data, the user can set the size of
each number of recipe data. For more details, please refer to the descriptions of Recipe
Register RCP.
Note: The setting values of this register are not retained when power is off.
1st Number, RCPNO = 1
4th Group, RCPNO = 4

Chapter 3 Creating and Editing Screens
3.3.5 Recipe Group Register (Read / Write) : RCPG
This register is used to specify the 32-bit recipe group (Fig. 3-3-3). It is different than RCPNO.
The difference is that when using RCPG, not only the recipe number, the recipe group also
must be set. When the user wants to upload/download the recipe data of 1
st
number of 1st
group, RCPG must be set to 1 and RCPNO must be set to 1. If HMI or the external controller
needs to read/write the recipe data of 4
th
number of 3rd group, RCPG must be set to 3 and
RCPNO must be set to 4. The recipe group number is determined when editing the recipe
table. For more details, please refer to the descriptions of Recipe Register RCP.
Note: The setting values of this register are not retained when power is off.
1st Number, RCPNO = 1
1st Group, RCPG = 1 3rd Group, RCPG = 3
Fig. 3-
3-3 Recipe Group Editing Screen
3.3.6 Recipe Register (Read / Write) : RCP
This register is used to save the recipe data that the user downloaded from HMI after exiting
Screen Editor software program. There are two kinds of recipe register, 16-bit recipe register
and 32-bit recipe register.
16-bit Recipe Register
The size of this register is 16bit (1 Word). If the data storage area is an external memory, i.e.
a USB disk or SM card is connected, the data space of 16-bit recipe register is 4MB words. If
the data storage area is an internal memory, the data space of 16-bit recipe register is 64K
words.
Revision May, 2010 3-19
Chapter 3 Creating and Editing Screens
Assume that the data size is L and the recipe number is N, and the actual recipe data space is
equal to L x N words, i.e. L x N recipe registers are occupied. Delta DOP-B series has a recipe
buffer area (Table 3-3-2) which stores the selected recipe data by the user. The size of this
buffer area is the same as the data size of the selected recipe. It also means that L recipe
registers are occupied in recipe buffer area. Therefore, there will be L x (N+1) registers
occupied in one recipe table. Use the following method to access data that set with recipe.

register is 50MB words. If the data storage area is an internal memory, the data space of
32-bit recipe register depends on the specification of HMI flash memory. The user can refer
to the specifications shown on DOP-B series catalogue. Please note that not only recipe data,
there are also other screen data stored in flash memory. It indicates the total memory size of
the recipe data space must be less than the space of the flash memory. For more details,
please refer to HMI Memory dialog by clicking View > Memory List (Fig. 3-3-4).

Assume that the data size is L and the recipe number is N, and the actual recipe data space is
equal to L x N DW words, i.e. L x N recipe registers are occupied. Delta DOP-B series has a
recipe buffer area (Table 3-3-8) which stores the selected recipe data by the user. The size of
this buffer area is the same as the data size of the selected recipe. It also means that L recipe
registers are occupied in recipe buffer area. Therefore, there will be L x (N+1) registers
occupied in one recipe table. Use the following method to access data that set with recipe.

3.4 Control Block and Status Block
For two-way communication between Delta DOP series HMI and all other brands of PLCs, the
address of the control block and status block must be defined. These settings are located in the
Configuration dialog box (Fig. 3-4-2) by clicking Options > Configuration (Fig. 3-4-1). For
more details on settings, please refer to the following descriptions.
Fig. 3-4-1 Clicking Configuration Command
Fig. 3-4-2 Configuration Dialog Box

Chapter 3 Creating and Editing Screens
Note: Checking of Auto reset flags will reset the control block flags (Bits) automatically after
the desired procedure has been executed. If this box is not checked, the system will ask the
user to reset the flags.
3.4.1 Control Block
The control block is the way a PLC is used to control the HMI. Through the settings set in the
registers, the controller which is connected to HMI can know HMI internal operation, i.e.
screen switch, backlight on and off, current priority, curve sampling data and clear flag, etc.
information and the user can also get the current system status of HMI. The register is a
continuous data block and its length is from 0 to 8 words (Fig. 3-4-2). When using control
block features, the actual length of control block is determined by the used control block
features. For example, when Screen Switch feature (Screen Number Designation Register) is
used, the control block must be set to a length of 1 or more. At this time, only Screen Number
Designation Register can be used. One more example, when using History Buffer features
(Sampling History Buffer Register), the control block must be set to a length of 4 or more. At
this time, only Sampling History Buffer Register can be used. In addition, when using the
function of Multi-language Setting Value Bit (System Control Flag Register), it is best that the
length of the control block be set to 8 words. At this time, all the register in control block can
be used. When the control block is set to a length of zero, the control block is disabled.
The function and explanation of each WORD is listed as Table 3-4-1 below. In the following
table, in the following example 1 we assume that the user uses a Delta PLC, so the available
starting addresses in control block are Dn ~ Dn+7 (D0 ~ D7). In the following example 2, we
assume that the user uses HMI internal register $, so the available starting address in control
block is$n ~ $n+7 ($15 ~ $22). The user can choose if the control block designations are
stored in PLC or HMI.

Enable / Disable Communication
Bit 0 controls the HMI communication. When bit 0 is turned ON, HMI communication is
disabled. When bit 0 is turned OFF, HMI communication is enabled. By checking
Communication Interrupt check box (Fig. 3-4-3) under the Communication tab of
the Configuration dialog box when communication between one certain PLC is lost
this bit will be turned ON and disable the communication automatically and the
communication fault message will not display (this will not affect the communications
between other PLCs). Then, the user can clear it to enable the communication again. If
this check box is not checked, this flag is disabled (To disable and enable the
communication manually, the user can use OPENCOM/CLOSECOM macro commands.
For more details on macro commands, please refer to section 3.14)
For example (refer to Table 3-4-1 and Fig. 3-4-4), if the PLC which is connected via
COM2 port has communication error and communication retry time has reached three
times, HMI will disable the communication between that PCL automatically (but will
not disable the communication between other PLCs) and will not show communication
errors. At this time, if D1 or $16.0 is set to 0, i.e. the communication flag is turned
OFF, the communication will be enabled again and HMI will communicate with that
PLC again. If the communication is lost for three times, this flag will be ON again.
When D1=0, it indicates that Bit 0 of D1 is 0 (0000 0000 0000 0000).

Enable / Disable Backlight
Bit 1 controls the backlight of HMI. When bit 1 is turned ON, the HMI backlight turns
OFF. When bit 1 is turned OFF, the HMI backlight turns ON. For example (refer to Table
3-4-1), if D1 is set to 2 or $16.1 is set to 1, this flag is enabled and the HMI backlight
turns OFF. When D1 = 2, it indicates that Bit 1 of D1 is 1(0000 0000 0000 0010).
Enable / Disable Buzzer
Bit 2 controls the buzzer of HMI. When bit 2 is turned ON, the HMI buzzer turns OFF.
When bit 2 is turned OFF, the HMI buzzer turns ON. For example (refer to Table 3-4-1),
if D1 is set to 4 or $16.2 is set to 1, the HMI buzzer turns ON. At this time, if an alarm
occurs, it will sound. When D1 = 4, it indicates that Bit 2 of D1 is 1 (0000 0000 0000
0100).
Clear Alarm Buffer
Bit 3 clears the alarm buffer. When an alarm history table is used, setting this bit is
able to clear all data inside of that table. When bit 3 is turned ON, the alarm buffer is
cleared. To clear the alarm buffer again, this flag must be turned OFF and then ON
again. For example (refer to Table 3-4-1), if D1 is set to 8 or $16.3 is set to 1, this flag
is turned ON and the alarm buffer will be cleared. When D1 = 8, it indicates that Bit 3
of D1 is 1 (0000 0000 0000 1000).
Clear Alarm Counter
Bit 4 clears the alarm counter. When an alarm frequency table is used, setting this bit
is able to clear the values for the alarms. When bit 4 is turned ON, the alarm counter is
cleared. To clear the alarm counter again, this flag must be turned OFF and then ON
again. For example (refer to Table 3-4-1), if D1 is set to 16 or $16.4 is set to 1, this flag
is turned ON and the alarm counter will be cleared. When D1 = 16, it indicates that Bit
4 of D1 is 1 (0000 0000 0001 0000).

Update USB Data
Bit 5 updates the USB data. When this flag is used, the user can update the stored data
in alarm buffer area into the USB disk. If one of alarm buffer, history buffer or recipe
function is activated and the non-volatile memory area is set to USB disk, when this
flag is enable, HMI will backup and update the data that is stored in buffer area into
USB disk in real-time. Please note that all the data will be stored in the buffer area first.
Before reaching the limit of the buffer memory (the memory capacity of buffer area is
64KB and it can be user-defined as well in Configuration dialog box), the system will
not backup and update the data into USB disk. The purpose is not to frequently
overwrite the USB disk and avoid the damage to USB disk. Therefore, if the amount of
data is less than the memory capacity, to avoid the data may be lost, the user can
enable this flag and update the data into USB disk.
For example (refer to Table 3-4-1), if D1 is set to 32 or $16.5 is set to 1, this flag is
turned ON and the function of update USB data will be enabled. When D1 = 32, it
indicates that Bit 5 of D1 is 1 (0000 0000 0010 0000).
Set User Security Level
Bits 8 to 10 set the user security level. The HMI security level settings are divided into two
parts: one is level 0 (lowest) to level 7 and the other is highest level. Bits 8 to 10 controls
the level 0 (lowest) to level 7 but cannot control the highest level. When Bit 8 is turned ON,
the user security level is 1. When Bit 9 is turned ON, the user security level is 2. When Bit
10 is turned ON, the user security level is 4. For more details on settings, please refer to
the following descriptions.

3-32 Revision May, 2010
Chapter 3 Creating and Editing Screens
settings, the RCPNP can change to the designated recipe number automatically. To
control the change recipe number flag again, this flag must be turned OFF and then
ON again.
For example (refer to Table 3-4-1), if set D6 to 3 and set D5 or $20.0 to 1
simultaneously, the recipe number will become 3 (RCPNO=3). When D6 = 3, it
indicates that the designated recipe number is 3. When D5 = 1, it indicates that Bit 0 of
D5 is 1(0000 0000 0000 0001).
Read Recipe Flag
Bit 1 reads the recipe data from PLC and stores the recipe data in the specified area of
HMI. To read and store the recipe data, specify the recipe number and turn this flag to
be ON. To control the read recipe flag again, this flag must be turned OFF and then ON
again.
For example (refer to Table 3-4-1), if the designated recipe number is 4 (RCPNO=4),
set D5 to 2 or $20.1 to 1 and the recipe data saved in PLC will be read and stored in
the 4th recipe register. The original data saved in the 4th recipe register will be
updated as well. When D5 = 2, it indicates that Bit 1 of D5 is 1(0000 0000 0000 0010).
Write Recipe Flag
Bit 2 write the recipe data from HMI into PLC. To write the recipe data, specify the
recipe number and turn this flag to be ON. To control the write recipe flag again, this
flag must be turned OFF and then ON again.
For example (refer to Table 3-4-1), if the designated recipe number is 2 (RCPNO=2),
set D5 to 4 or $20.2 to 1 and the recipe data saved in HMI will be written into the PLC
register immediately. The original data saved in the PLC register will be updated as
well. When D5 = 4, Bit 2 of D5 is 1(0000 0000 0000 0100).
Change Recipe Group Number
To change the recipe group number, the user can use Recipe Group Register RCPG
directly or use this flag. To specify the recipe group number, write the recipe group
number into the Designate Recipe Group Number Register (Bits 8 to 15) and then turn
ON this flag. After the above settings, when HMI detects the change recipe group
number flag, it will change the value of RCPG and change recipe group number
automatically. To control the change recipe group number flag again, this flag must
be turned OFF and then ON again.
For example (refer to Table 3-4-1), if set D5 to 520 or set$20.3 and $20.9 to 1
simultaneously, the recipe group number will become 2 (RCPG=2). When D5 = 520, it
indicates that Bit 3 and Bit 9 of D5 are both 1(0000 0010 0000 1000).
Revision May, 2010 3-33
Chapter 3 Creating and Editing Screens
Designate Recipe Group Number
Bits 8 to Bit 15 designate the recipe group number. When the recipe group number is
designated and turn ON this control flag, HMI will change the value of RCPG and
change the recipe group number automatically.
For example (refer to Table 3-4-1), if set D5 to 520 or set$20.3 and $20.9 to 1
simultaneously, the recipe group number will become 2 (RCPG=2). When D5 = 520, it
indicates that Bit 3 and Bit 9 of D5 are both 1(0000 0010 0000 1000).
For more detailed settings, please refer to the following descriptions.

If dividing D5 into high byte and low byte, it is easily to see that high byte determines
the recipe group number (regardless of low byte). When the high byte setting is set to
0000 0010, it indicates that the designated group number is the 2nd group. If the
high byte setting is changed to 0000 0011, it indicates that the designated group
number is changed to 3rd group and vise versa.
Recipe Number Designation Register (RBIR)
This register is used to specify the recipe. When this flag is turned ON, the system will write
the designated recipe group number into Recipe Number Designation Register (RBIR). After
Change Recipe Number Flag is turned ON, HMI will change the value of RCPNO and change
the recipe number as well.
For example (refer to Table 3-4-1), if set D6 to 3 and set D5 or $20.0 to 1 at the same time,
the recipe number will become 3 (RCPNO=3) When D6 is set to 3, it indicates that the
designated recipe number is 3. When D5 = 1, it indicates that Bit 0 of D5 is 1(0000 0000

multi-language settings, please refer to section 3.10).
For example (refer to Table 3-4-1 and Fig. 3-4-7), if language setting value 1 is Chinese,
and D7 or $22.0 is set to 1, all the text in HMI will change to the text in Chinese. When
D7 =1, it indicates that Bit 0 of D7 is 1(0000 0000 0000 0001).

For example (refer to Table 3-4-1), if D7 is set to 512 or set $22.9 to 1, HMI will retract
the paper and align the paper for the next run automatically. When D7 = 512, it
indicates that Bit 9 of D7 is 1(0000 0010 0000 0000).
3.4.2 Status Block
The status block is the way a PLC is used to get feedback from the HMI. Through the settings
set in the registers, the controller which is connected to HMI can know HMI internal operation,
i.e. screen switch, backlight on and off, current priority, curve sampling data and clear flag,
etc. information. The status block consists of 8 continuous words and this cannot be changed
(Fig. 3-4-2) When the user set the address in Status Block, PLC can read the status of DOP-B
series HMI. Please note that when the function Control Block is disabled, the function of
Status Block is disabled as well. In addition, ensure that the addresses of Control Block and
Start Block must be different.
The function and explanation of each WORD is listed as Table 3-4-2 below. In the following
table, in the following example 1 we assume that the user uses a Delta PLC, so the available
starting addresses in status block are Dm ~ Dm+7 (D10 ~ D17). In the following example 2,
we assume that the user uses HMI internal register $, so the available starting address in
control block is$m ~ $m+7 ($25 ~ $32). The user can choose if the status block designations
are stored in PLC or HMI.

3.7.7 Full Screen
Refer to Fig. 3-7-11. Full screen provides maximum view to edit in ScrEdit. Full screen view
will hide all toolbars and docking windows other than the ScrEdit work place itself. Fig. 3-7-11
full screen also shows the reference macro command.

3.7.8 I/O Screen
Refer
to Fig. 3-7-12. I/O screen also provides maximum view to edit in ScrEdit just like Full
screen. But the difference is that I/O Screen will show the read and write addresses of the
element and also shows the set macro commands.

3.7.9 Grid Setup
Grid Setup is a function that can help the user to align and position the element more easily
and precisely. The distance (spacing) between the grid dots can be set by the user freely (Fig.
3-7-13 and Fig. 3-7-14).
Show Grid: Show the grid dots on the screen.
Snap to Grid: Make the elements snap to grid so that the elements can jump between grid
lines when the user moves them.

3.7.10 Cross Reference Table
When creating and editing various kinds of elements, often the same address is reused.
To avoid this situation, HMi provides the cross reference table function for user’s
convenience and quick reference. The user can view the read/write addresses of the selected
element and see its relationship or connection with the addresses of other elements, macro
commands or the system control area. The first row of the cross reference table displays the
referred element that the user selected. The following rows display the elements which have
the same write address. The user can double-click a specific row and HMi will switch to the
corresponding screen of the referred address. In Fig. 3-7-15, we can see that alarm address
and macro command use the same internal memory $50.

3.7.11 Element Part List
When the Element Part List function is enabled, HMi sorts out and classifies all the elements
on the current screen. The user can click the tab to switch to the classification that the user
wants to view. The related addresses and corresponding properties are listed in each
classification (Name, Describe, Write / Read address, Trigger address, Trigger type, Interlock
and Level) in each tab. The user can double-click the column to let HMi select the element
automatically and allow the user to edit the detailed property of the selected element in the
property table.

3.7.12 Memory List
There are four items in memory list:
1. ROM: It is the location where recipe data and screen data are stored.
2. SRAM: It is the location where non-volatile data is stored.
When there are history and alarm, etc. data in the project, the user can check the
memory space in this area.
3. SDARM: It is the location where HMI executes the project. To get this information, the
user must create a project and compile it first.
4. External Storage: It indicates the external memory is used. When the non-volatile data is
stored in external memory, i.e. USB disk, the data stored in SRAM will be moved to
external memory area.

See below example.
(1). See the memory space after a picture is imported.
(2). See the memory space after a history data is created.
(1). Import a picture
When importing a picture on HMI screen, the memory space of ROM and SDRAM changes.
When the user create a new project, the calculated memory space by the system is shown
as:
ROM=3.13%
SDAM=0.71%
After importing a picture on the screen, the memory space changes as shown as the figure
below.
At this time, the memory space is changed as:
ROM=7.29%
SDAM=3.98%
The occupied ROM space increases 256K (384K-128K) and the occupied SDRAM space
increases 600K (600K-0K).

Chapter 3 Creating and Editing Screens
(2). Create a history data
In this case, the original occupied memory space is:
ROM=7.29%
SDAM=3.98%
SRAM=0%
External Storage=0%
Create a two word history data as shown as the figure below. Ensure that this history data
is stored in HMI (non-volatile area), i.e. Retained check box must be checked.
After the history setting is completed, the memory space changes.
Each saved date and time record occupied 6Byres
Each saved history data occupied 2word (4Byres)
SRAM=（6+4）x 10 +10 Byres (for system use) =110 Byres
At this time, the memory space will become:
ROM=7.29%
SDAM=3.98%
SRAM=0.03%
External Storage=0%
