4. Configure Settings:

   • Set the programming parameters if necessary (e.g., voltage levels, timing settings). Most settings can usually be left at default for standard operations.

5. Read and Save the Flash Memory:

   • Click on the Read button or option in the software interface to start reading the flash chip. The software will typically show a progress indicator.

   • The data will be read from the chip and displayed in the software. You can save the data using the Save button.

   
6. Read Data is shown in the hex dump

   
7. Verify the Data:

   • Optionally, you can verify the data by reading it back from the saved file and comparing it with the original content.

8. Disconnect and Exit:

   • Once the dump is complete, safely disconnect the flash chip from the programmer and exit the software.
