Run the Keyfob Programmer software

If USB dongle is not detected, or another Kanda dongle is

present, then this error appears. Make sure only one Kanda
dongle is plugged in.

If the AVR Programmer is not detected, then this message will
appear. Make sure the programmer is connected to the dongle,

and the programmer is powered, or battery is Ok.

To run programmer in Demo mode, Click Ignore. The
programmer software will load but you will not be able to Read

or Program a programmer until one is connected.

If the AVR Programmer requires a firmware update, this
message appears. Click OK to carry out firmware update.
