We recommended using higher monitor resolution as 1024 x 768.
These PC requirements are valid for version 3.14/4.2015 of control program for programmers.
For other version see www.dataman.com.
If two programmers are to be connected to a single PC, then we strongly recommend
connecting each programmer to separate USB 2.0 High speed controller (USB EHCI). For
more information see "Hardware setup" chapter.
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.

10
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.
Free additional services:
 free technical support (phone/fax/e-mail).
 free lifetime software update via Web site.

Introduction
DATAMAN 448PRO2AP-AU is the core for automated programmers and automatic test
equipments (ATE) with built-in actuation units. It is super fast universal 4x 48-pindrive
concurrent multiprogramming system designed for high volume production programming.
DATAMAN 448PRO2AP-AU consist from four DATAMAN 48PRO2 based independent
programming modules, which work separately from other programming modules, therefore
each programming module have separate ZIF socket actuation unit. The chips are
programmed at near theoretical maximum programming speed.
DATAMAN 448PRO2AP-AU is an industrial version of DATAMAN 448PRO2 programmer for
usage in automated programmers without ZIF socket opener. The differences are:
 the dimensions of the DATAMAN 448PRO2AP-AU programmer are reduced - compared to
the DATAMAN 448PRO2 - in intent to minimize overhead of the handler's arm movement
 more mechanically stable case to be immune against vibration during operation. The case of
DATAMAN 448PRO2AP-AU is prepared to be fastened from top or from bottom of
programmer body into automated programmer working place
 different construction of programming modules, stable enough for insert/replace chips by
mechanical arm and also that allow to keep identical position of ZIF socket also after
replacing of the module
 built in 4 independent actuation units, one for each programming site, for opening ZIF
after finishing work with device
The ZIF socket actuation unit is designed for all kinds and sizes of ZIF sockets used at
programming modules. Simple design allows applying pressure exactly symmetrically to top
of ZIF socket and it keeps mechanical life of ZIF socket as long as possible.
Smart design of pressure plates is designed to be easy adjustable and the pressure can be
applied to ZIF socket at proper place.
ZIF socket actuation unit work very fast, both action, push and release, take less than 0.5s
each.
In comparison with competitive solutions, where more ZIF sockets are actuated together (...
and slowly), our solution for ZIF socket actuation really don't retard the handler's arm
movement.
The lifetime of ZIF socket actuation unit is more than 2.5 million cycles at condition of ZIF
socket pressure force below 2.5 kg.
DATAMAN 448PRO2AP-AU can be implemented into automated programmer (as a
replacement of obsolete programmer) or into some handler by two ways:
1. using of standard PC, for example DATAMAN 448PRO2AP-AU can be connected to the
control PC of automated programmer (up to 2 DATAMAN 448PRO2AP-AU can be
attached to one computer using USB hub or USB ports of the PC).
2. using DATAMAN 448PRO2AP control unit (option)

 Up to 2 DATAMAN 448PRO2AP-AU programmers are controlled by DATAMAN
448PRO2AP control unit. The DATAMAN 448PRO2AP control unit is Windows XP
Embedded driven computer, optimized for industrial environment.
 One DATAMAN 448PRO2AP control unit in the system serve as a master unit. Here is
running also multiprogramming control software, serialization engine and interface to the
host system.
 Interfacing of DATAMAN 448PRO2AP control units is done over standard LAN and
external LAN switch. Interfacing of DATAMAN 448PRO2AP master control unit and host
systems is over LAN or RS232 (other interface on request).
Implementation of DATAMAN 448PRO2AP-AU into available 3rd party automated
programmers and handlers are using simple remote control of the PG4UWMC control
software. There exist examples of implementation for standard programming languages and of
course we are ready to help customer with this task.
Note: For other (standard) parameters of DATAMAN 448PRO2AP-AU/DATAMAN
448PRO2AP programmer, see description of DATAMAN 448PRO2 please.
DATAMAN 448PRO2AP-AU/DATAMAN 448PRO2AP programming modules have
schematics identical like modules for DATAMAN 448PRO2 programmer, but these modules
are mechanically designed for perfect stability at the top of the programmer and also in intent
to keep identical position if the programming module is exchanged. There are available
programming module for device in PLCC, SOIC, PSOP, SSOP, TSOP, TSSOP, TQFP, QFN
(MLF), BGA and other packages.
Note: The programming modules have reference pin (corner) points to Left-Up corner of
programming module. We accept also orders for other orientation of ZIF socket at
programming module if needed, discuss please situation with our sales department.

14
DATAMAN 448PRO2AP-AU programmer is driven by comfortable and easy to use control
program, which work with all versions of MS Windows from Windows XP to Windows 10 64-bit.
It is important to remember that in most cases new devices require only a software update
due to the DATAMAN 448PRO2AP-AU is truly universal programmer. With our unique quick
reaction to customer's needs - software update can be ready within a day from request by
OnDemand software
Advanced design including protection circuits, original brand components and careful
manufacturing and burning allows us to provide a three-year warranty on parts and labor for
the DATAMAN 448PRO2AP-AU (limited to 500 insertion of programming module to
Programming Module Interface connectors).
