2.9 Target System Connect / Disconnect detection
The PPM3-MK2 programmer has a special mode where it can detect when a Target System (UUT) is
connected to or disconnected from the programmer. A load sensing technique is used to detect the
presence of the UUT. This method of UUT detection can be used to trigger a ‘Standalone
Programming Project’ or even a sequence of chained projects to start.
The typical sequence of events is as follows:
•
Programmer waits for UUT to be connected (flashing BUSY LED)
•
Operator connects UUT to programmer
•
Programmer detects connection of UUT
•
Programmer automatically executes a sequence of Standalone Programming Projects
•
At the end of the programming sequence, the programmer will FLASH either the PASS or
FAIL LED
•
Programmer then goes into ‘Target Disconnection Sensing’ mode (flashing BUSY LED)
•
Operator removes the UUT
•
Programmer resets itself ready for the next UUT
Please contact Equinox for further instructions on how to set up your programmer to operate in this
mode.
2.10 Script Mode (ISP-PRO)
‘Script Mode’ is designed for production users who require logging of all programmer operations to a
database. This mode utilises the Equinox ISP-PRO software which allows execution of Programming
Scripts. It is possible to write scripts to program unique data such as serial numbers, calibration data
etc. It is also possible to control the programmer from a Remote Application written in eg. Labview,
Visual Basic, C++ etc.
In order to use ‘Script Mode’ with your programmer, it is necessary to purchase the relevant license
upgrade for ISP-PRO. Please see the Equinox Website for further details.
