Auto-detecting the device insertion

If you checked the AutoDetect checkbox on the main window toolbar then a ChipProg programmer will automatically detect insertion of the device into a programming socket and will check if the device's leads are reliably squeezed by the socket contacts. In case of the bad contact with any single lead the programmer blocks further operations and issues a warning that indicates the pin numbers with bad contacts. This prevents destroying the device or incorrect programming.
 
The AutoDetect signal can be used for triggering a programming operation by checking the Auto-Detect presence of device in the socket box in the Options tab of the Program Manager window. One of the following options can be set here:

•Execute the function selected in the 'Function' list (the Program Manager tab);

•AutoProgramming;

•Execute script.

At this point the AutoDetect trigger replaces the programmer command executed by a mouse click or pressing the Start button. This significantly speeds up and simplifies programming of the device series.
