Free disk space requirement depends also on used IC device size and number of attached
programming sites. For large devices the required free space on disk will be approximately
1000MB + 2x Device size x number of programming sites attached to this PC.
Very easy indication, if your PC in hardware/software configuration is good enough for the
current software version and current situation with PG4UW/PG4UWMC, is to run Windows
task manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del) and see the performance folder. It has to be max. 80% of CPU
usage at full run of programming system.
Additional services:
free technical support (phone/e-mail)
free lifetime software update via Web site
AlgOR (Algorithm On Request) is a free service, with which we respond (as flexibly as
possible) to the customer's request regarding the implementation of programming support for
new devices into the current control program. This service can be used also to ask for new
features of the control program. For more information see
www.elnec.com .
Keep-Current is a subscription service, with which your Elnec programmer and
documentation is up-to-date with the latest device support and control program's features.
Elnec ships of a latest version of programmer software and updated user documentation
(Keep-Current package). A Keep-Current service is your hassle-free guarantee that you are
doing the highest quality programming on Elnec programmers, at minimal cost. For more
information see

Why is it important to use the latest version of PG4UW?
At every moment semiconductor manufacturers introduce into the market new devices with
new package types, manufactured by new technologies to support the need for flexibility,
quality and speed in product design and manufacturing. Within a year we implement into the
control program support of more than 7000 new devices.
A typical programmable device undergoes several changes during it's lifetime in an effort to
maintain or improve device characteristics and process yields. These changes often have
effect to programming algorithms change (programming algorithm is set of instructions that
tells the programmer how to program data into a particular type of device). Using the newest
algorithm in programming process is key to obtaining quality result. In many cases, while the
older algorithm will program the device, it may not provide the level of data retention that
would be possible with an optimal algorithm. Failure to use the most current algorithm can
decrease your programming yields (it increase count of bad programmed devices), often
increase programming times, or even affect the long term reliability of the programmed
device.
We are making mistakes too...
Our commitment is to implement support for these new or modified parts before or as soon as
possible after their distribution, so that you can be sure that you are using latest and/or optimal
programming algorithms that were specifically created for this device.
