Equinox Technologies are pleased to announce the launch of a special version of firmware for the Equinox FS2003 ISP programmer called “FS2000B”. This firmware upgrade emulates the operation of an FS2000A programmer allowing the FS2003 programmer to execute Programming Projects’ which were created for the now discontinued FS2000A programmer.

Features

• New “FS2000B” firmware allows the FS2003 programmer to execute FS2000A Programming Projects
• Most FS2000A Programming Projects can be uploaded without modification.
•  Allows a mixture of older FS2000A and newer FS2003 programmers to be deployed in the field without having to use separate Project Collections for each programmer. 

Ordering information

The FS2003 and FS2009 Programmers can be ordered as follows:
