1 Development
Mode
EQTools -
EDS
S In this mode, the programmer is controlled
by EQTools - Equinox Development Suite
(EDS). EDS allows you to read/write the
target device FLASH / EEPROM / FUSE /
LOCK bits interactively under PC control
without uploading a ‘Programming Project’
to the programmer.

-
Keypad Mode
None
S In this mode, the programmer is not
connected to a PC and can program a
single ‘Programming Project’ into the Target
Device when the <YES> key is pressed. (A
valid project must have been previously
uploaded to the programmer using EQTools
– Upload Wizard.)

Emulation
Software
S This protocol can be used to control an
Equinox programmer from a Remote
Application or Remote System using a
simple set of ASCII serial commands. This
protocol is ideal for controlling Equinox
programmers from any Remote System
which features an RS-232 serial port and
which can operate at a fixed baud rate of
38,400.
2.7

-
4-Wire TTL Control
None
S The PPM3 programmer can be controlled
using a 4-wire TTL signalling protocol as
shown in the diagram below. This control
method is ideal for interfacing the
programmer In-Circuit Testers (ICT’s) or
other production equipment which does not
have an RS-232 port.
2.8
5 Target System auto-
detect mode
None
S The PPM3 programmer is capable of
automatically detecting when a Target
System is connected to / disconnected from
the programmer. This can be used to trigger
the execution of a Programming Project in
