Using the Fast Programmer
The SPC Fast Programmer is a portable storage device that provides the engineer
with the ability to upload and download configuration files in a quick and convenient
manner. The Fast Programmer has two interfaces located on opposite ends of the
device:
1.
SPC Controller Interface:
This 10-pin serial interface is located at the top of
the Fast Programmer and connects directly to the Fast Programmer interface
on the SPC Controller board. Once connected, the engineer can upload and
download files directly from the Fast Programmer via the browser
programming interface.
2.
PC USB Interface:
This USB interface is located at the bottom of the Fast
Programmer and connects directly to the USB interface on a PC.
Configuration files can only be stored and accessed by using the SPC Pro
programming application.
