Datasheet

SOFTWARE
Algorithms: only manufacturer approved or certified algorithms are used. Custom algorithms are available at
additional cost.
Algorithm updates: software updates are available regulary, approx. every 4 weeks, free of charge.
OnDemand version of software is available for highly needed chips support and/or bugs fixes. Available nearly
daily.
Main features: revision history, session logging, on-line help, device and algorithm information.
Device operations
standard:
intelligent device selection by device type, manufacturer or typed fragment of part name
automatic ID-based selection of EPROM/Flash EPROM
blank check, read, verify
program
erase
configuration and security bit program
illegal bit test
checksum
interprete the Jam Standard Test and Programming Language (STAPL), JEDEC standard JESD-71
interprete the VME files compressed binary variation of SVF files
interprete the SVF files (Serial Vector Format)
interprete the Actel STAPL Player files
security
insertion test, reverse insertion check
contact check
ID byte check
special
production mode (automatic start immediately after device insertion)
multi-project mode
lot of serialization modes (more type of incremental modes, from-file mode, custom generator mode)
statistic
count-down mode
Buffer operations
view/edit, find/replace
fill/copy, move, byte swap, word/dword split
checksum (byte, word)
print
File load/save
no download time because programmer is PC controlled
automatic file type identification/recognition
