MQP's famous driver package offers the ultimate in power and ease of use, making full use of colour and pop-up windows for all functions.
Functions include: Type selection, Program, Verify, Blankcheck, Read, Checksum, Manual Program, Append Program, Display device contents, Display file contents, Set polarity, Set file format, Set byte selection, Set file address, Print device contents, Print file contents, Print device list by selected criteria, Program special functions (e.g. Lock), Display directory, Display device fuse map, Display file fuse map, Serial Numbering, Object file editing etc.
Context sensitive help or the on-line manual are always available by pressing F1.
Of special interest for Production Managers is our Production Language.
A special feature of the software is its excellent Type Selection function.
Simply type all or part of the device name; all matching devices are shown in a scrolling window. Highlight your exact choice and press Enter to select it. A separate window alongside gives you full details about the device type, size and algorithm.
You can narrow down the devices displayed by specifying manufacturer and/or device category (e.g. Serial EEPROMs only). Any selection of devices can be printed for future reference.
The type may be selected by part name or by MQP code (to facilitate batch file programming).
An especially powerful feature of PROMDRIVER is its ability to automatically program serial numbers in a variety of formats into devices being programmed. In the case of our gang programmers the serial numbers are added intelligently so that no gaps appear in the numbering system in the case of programming failures.
This remarkable Object File Editor is capable of editing object files up to 16Mbytes in a range of formats.
Common uses are: object file format conversion, merge / unmerge 16/32 bit bus files, concatenations & file splits, and general editing. With its comprehensive range of editing facilities there is almost no file or data manipulation operation that this utility is not capable of performing.
PD editor can be invoked independently or directly from PROMDRIVER.
PROMDRIVER has a powerful script driven mode of operation. Using this you can pre-define all the details of a production programming job. The script can be run direct from the system prompt. The complete operation is then controlled, and instructions are given to the user to ensure correct completion of the job. The script language includes user defined menus and messages, and offers complete control over detailed programmer settings.
Using the PROMDRIVER script mode can save hours of valuable setting up time, and ensure that all relevant settings are correctly made to allow all parts to be accurately programmed.
