3.6 Standalone Keypad Mode
3.6.1 Overview
In
‘Standalone Mode’
, the EPSILON5-MK4 is controlled via the 2 x push buttons on the front panel of
the programmer. The programmer
‘LED Status Indicators (PASS / BUSY FAIL)’
are used to display
the current status of the programmer. In
‘Standalone Mode’
it is only possible to select from a
single previously uploaded
‘Standalone Programming Project’
and then to repeatedly execute this
project to program a batch of devices.

This mode is ideal for both field and production ISP requirements as the programming data is held
locally in FLASH memory on the programmer so a PC is not required.
Before using Standalone Mode you need to:
•
Connect Programmer to PC USB port
•
Upload a valid Project Collection to containing a single
‘Standalone Programming Project’
to the programmer. This will be retained in the Programmer
‘Flash Memory Store’
even once
the power is removed.
•
It is a good idea to test these projects using EDS (Equinox Development Suite) before
uploading them to the programmer.
•
Disconnect the programmer from the PC
Please note:
It is recommended that all Programming Projects are fully tested and debugged using the EDS
(Equinox Development Suite) utility
BEFORE
uploading them to the programmer. This can save a lot
of time as problems are much easier to debug within the EDS environment.
