Cascading and Memory Size
For example, you have two units. The first one has 2 GB memory. The second one has
4 GB memory. The system shows the entire memory as 6 GB. If you set buffer size to 6 GB,
the system programs the first board for 2 GB and the second board for 4 GB. You can
consider this ratio when you set buffer size to any value. For example, if you set buffer
size to 2 GB, the system programs the first board for (2*2)/6 GB and the second board for
(2*4)/6 GB. Any unit that has more memory will have larger buffer size.
