ISPnano Series 3 - GANG8 System - 8-channel production ISP programming system

 
 
 

The ISPnanoS3-GANG8 is an 8-channel gang programming system made up of 8 independent ISPnano Series 3 programmers. It is capable of programming 8 target systems (DUTs) concurrently with each channel completely independent from the other channels. 

The ISPnanoS3-GANG8 system is designed for programming multi-PCB panels made up of PCBs each with a programmable microcontroller or memory device.

The ISPnanoS3-GANG8 is a scaleable ISP programming solution which can be expanded from 8 channels up to 32 channels by simply adding more programmers to the network.
