Programmer
Menu Programmer includes commands used for work with programmers.
Programmer / Find programmer
This item selects a new type of programmer and communication parameters. This command
contains following items:
Programmer - sets a new type of programmer for find. If a Search all is selected, the control
program finds all supported programmers.
Establish communication - allows manual or automatic establishing communication for a
new programmer.
Speed - sets speed, if a manual establishing communication is selected, which PC sends
data into the programmer. Speed is expressed as a percent from a maximal speed.
The communication speed modification is important for PCs with "slow" LPT ports, which
haven't sufficient driving power for a PC<->programmer cable (laptop, notebook, ...). Use this
command, if you have any communication problems with connected programmer on the LPT
port of your PC (e.g. control program reports a programmer absence, the communication with
the programmer is unreliable, etc.).
If automatic establishing communication is selected, then control program sets a maximal
communication speed.
Port - selects a port, which will be scanned for a requested programmer. If All port is
selected, the control program scans all ports, which are available on standard addresses.
Address for special port - sets address of LPT port, if a Special port is selected.
Pressing key
<Enter> or button OK initiates scanning for programmer by set parameters.
There is same activity as at start the control program. The command clears a list of default
devices without the current device, if the new selected programmer supports this one.
This setting is saved to disk by command
Options / Save options .
