Chapter 1 Product escription
1-1 Introduction
Due to the development of IC has been changed with each passing days. The
memory capacity and operating fre uency of IC has not been in support of traditional
programmers.
In order to shorten the waiting time of programming and let IC can be operated on
accurate fre uency, we takes ICT technology into the Universal Programmer. This means
the bandwidth of test signal increases to over 75MHz. Besides, the phase deviation is
only in ±2.2nS.
However it is not enough for users. The most valuable advantage is that we minimize the
size to put in the pocket! It is portable and connectable easily by USB cable. Moreover,
operating with our uni ue software can make all the users have the best experience on
programming uality and efficiency.
1-2 Safety Information
All the operations, maintenance and repair services are re uired to follow below safety
information. We do not take responsibility for unexpected problem by misusing the
e uipment.
1. The programmer must be used standard accessory Y-USB cable, while connecting
to computer. Besides,checking both USB plugs are connected to the computer
and confirm the USB power can let product operate normally. If the computer is
connected through USB Hub it will need another power adapter. (+5V/1A above)
2. Do not operate the product near flammable gases or fire.
High-temperature and humid environment are also prohibited.
3. Do not remove the product's case to operate, adjust or replace internal parts. Avoiding
e uipment's malfunction and Unnecessary risk.
4. Sockets or adapters are consumables. The life time is depend on the fre uency of
using from the supplier's product specification. If customer's using time is more than
the specification, the sockets will have bad connect. This will result in highly poor
burning rate or burning failure.
5. When Using this product as mass production or production for master tape,please take
the complete testing for treated samples which is assembled on practical products.
All the risks attributed to product using or software operating are undertaken by the
user.
※ This manual is for reference and preservation of consumers. Product specifications and
manuals will not be notified when modifying.
※ The company or trademarks mentioned in this manual are the property of them.

1-3 Precautions
1. When you deal with your IC through programmer, the programmer will access it on high
fre uency signal. For the uality and yield rate of the IC, you must note following:
a.While the IC is in processing action (including read / verify / programming / erase /
blank check ... etc) Do not use hands or other items to touch the IC on socket. When
inserting IC, please take notice on electrostatic protection treatment for operators.
b.If you need other adapters for kinds of IC-package(for example, TSOP, PLCC, TQFP,
QFN .. etc.). Please buy good uality ones, or ask your supplier to purchase that.
Do not use inferior uality of the adapters, or welding by yourself. Because of the
programmer processing the IC with high-fre uency signal. If the external adapters are
poor uality. We will be unable to ensure the IC processing uality!
2.When connecting programmer on the computer, please be sure to note the following:
a.Be sure to use the standard accessory with Y-USB cable. And two USB plugs are
connected to the computer. Ordinary USB cable can not ensure the uality and
stability when programming.
b.The programmer at the beginning of implementing computer software, it will check the
power supply by USB hub. If the power supply is not enough, it will pop up a warning
message below. You can use the standard Y-USB Cable two plugs connecting
to the computer, or changing to other USB socket. If still no improvement, it may your
computer USB power supply be limited.
You can use an external USB Hub and Power Adapter (5V, 1A) to improve it.
On the warning message window, you can press the "Reset" key to re-test. you can
also press the "Cancel" button to skip the power detection. However by doing so, the
system can not guarantee 100% regular working.

Chapter 2 Product Installation
2-1 Hardware Installation
1. Using standard accessory with Y-USB cable and connecting two USB plugs to
the computer. If you use the USB Hub, please connect it to the Power Adapter
(5V), and remove other power consumption USB product on the Hub. Such as
an external hard drive...and so on.
2. Programmers connected to the computer without installing the driver at the first time,
the blue LED on machine will not flash or light.
This is normal. After installing the driver and connecting to the computer, the
programmers' LED will flash 2 times then turn off.
Until the software is operated it will be light steadily. The LED will automatically turn off
after the software shut down.
2-2 Software Installation
1.Please note that: When installing the software on your computer, the operating
system will require "administrator" permission. If you have no permission, It
may result in unsuccessful installation.
2.Insert the CD into the computer, and the installation screen will automatically pop up. If
there's no installation screen, please install through "My Computer" into the CD-ROM
drive and executive AUTORUN.EXE
3.Pressing the "Install" button to start installing after entering installation path and name
of start menu. Finally press the "Finish" to finish the installation.
4. Then click the driver's installation files in CD (Or download the latest updates on the
internet).And updating IC database.

Chapter 3 IC Insertion
3-1 General IC Insert (DIP package)
If the IC such as DIP package, please insert devices align down the programmer's
Socket. The first pin would be at the upper left position (IC gap towards the top)
3-2 Special IC Insert Via Adapter (Special package)
When the IC is not the DIP package, please use appropriate adapters. If the number
of adapter's pins is under 48, please place it down align the Socket. The adapters are
usually marked "1" at the corner of pin, so place it towards the upper-left side. When
IC is placed on adapters, please follow description on them.

4-5 Option Setting
This page is related setting for software and processing IC. The page will change the
state immediately when clicking, without pressing any confirm key.
4-5-1 General System Setting
1. Insert Detect:
Before every IC processing, the system will check whether the IC is wrong-side, offset, empty
inserted,or bad connection. If there's a problem, it will stop implementing follow-up actions. Before
customers press Read, Confirm, Erase, Blank Check, Program, Verify, Protect, and ALL RUN keys
for checking, the system had implemented this action.
If customers didn't check it , the programmer would check whether IC is put in Socket, bad
connection of pins, and empty inserted. It will no longer judge and stop follow-up actions.
※ If the item can not be checked , which represents the IC does not support this function.
2. Device ID Check:
Checking the pending IC's ID after customers place the IC and before systems processes the IC.
If the checking result is not corresponding with the IC data, the system will not implement follow-up
actions.
※ If the item can not be checked, which represents the IC does not support the ID recognition
function.
3. Confirm Error List :
When the item is not checked, pressing "Confirm" will just compare that whether the data is the
same as buffer's one.If the result is right, it will show "Pass". Oppositely it will show "Fail".
When checking the items, the system will list the the different value between the buffer and IC
internal data in the message field. The list behind the option is the error display , up to 999 lines.
※When checking the"Confirm Error List", it will not compare the data of device option.
4. Programming area selection:
Selecting programming and comparing area of IC. The main memory zone will be enforced
programming;however other zones can be checked at customer's own.
※"Read"- All data will be read back to the computer, and placed in the buffer.
5. Message column related settings:
Setting the line's number of messages(1000-5000lines).
When messages reach setting lines, customers can choose "Auto
Clear and Save" or "Auto Clear".
6. Device Insert Detect:
The machine will implement related self-tests and show the detailed results in the message
column.
※Users can not put any IC or adapter on the sockets of the machine during test.

4-5-2 Device Check
This page is about the related parameters setting of the IC.
The type, uantity and form will be changed from different IC.
All of the setting parameters are programed to IC when programming.
However the protect-related setting is excluded, such as: Write Protect
or Read Protect. The protective setting are all programmed to DUT IC
under protect actions.
※If there is no screen displaying, it means that the IC doesn't have
related-parameters setting.
