3.6 Standalone Keypad Mode
3.6.1 Overview
In ‘Standalone Mode’, the FS2003 is controlled via the push buttons on the front panel of the
programmer. The programmer LCD and the LED Status Indicators are used to display the current
status of the programmer. In Standalone Mode it is possible to select from 1 of 64 previously
uploaded Programming Projects 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 COM port
•
Upload a valid Project Collection to containing 1 – 64 Programming Projects 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.
