-
This method also supports programming of 2 or more Target Devices on the same Target System
-
ISP-PRO - Production ISP Software is required to control more than 1 programmer on the network
-
An RS-485 Converter is required to implement multi-channel programming
|
|

|
|
Programmer Control Methods (chargeable License Upgrades) |
|
- ConsoleEDS - Command Line control utility
-
ISP-PRO - Production Monitoring Software
-
Remote Application Control - control via a custom application written in eg. Visual Basic, C++, C Builder
-
Labview Control - control via a custom Labview 6 application
|
|
PC Configuration / Driver Software - EQTools Software |
|
- Equinox Development Suite (EDS)
-
Project Builder - to create/edit Programming Projects
-
Project Manager - to create and maintain Project Collections
-
Project Upload / Download Utility - to upload projects to the programmer for use in Standalone Mode
|
|
Standalone Programming Mode (no PC) |
|
|
In ‘Standalone Mode’, the programmer is controlled via the push buttons on the front panel of the programmer - no PC connection is required. The programmer LCD and the LED Status Indicators are used to display the current status of the programmer. It is possible to select from 1 of 64 previously uploaded 'Programming Projects' and then to repeatedly execute this project by pressing the [YES] button to program a batch of devices.
In Standalone Mode...
- Programmer is completely portable as no PC connection is required
- Programmer supports storage up to 64 independent Programming Projects in the non-volatile On-board 4Mbits FLASH Memory Store .
- The operator simply selects the required project using LCD and keypad
- Each project name is version controlled showing the project name, date, firmware revision and build date. e.g. myproject-240402-2.3.4.12
- Single key auto-program mode
- Simple PASS / FAIL response on display and via PASS / BUSY / FAIL LEDs
- Multiple Programming Projects can be chained together to create complex Program Test Firmware -> Run Target -> Program Production Firmware sequences
- Operator can not inadvertently change the programming data or settings

Interchangeable I/O Driver Circuitry (SFM Modules) |
|
|
The 'Special Function Module contains the main 'I/O Driver Circuitry' which interfaces the programmer electronics to the Target System. This module is interchangeable allowing a programmer to be repaired or upgrades in minutes by simply swapping the module.
The following 'Special Function Modules' are available for this programmer:
- EQ-SFM-1 – Standard Special Function Module
- EQ-SFM-MAX-V1.3 – High Speed / ESD Protected + 32 kHz
