For the programmer to be used in a single programming mode, e.g. alone:
Connecting to a PC
|
Connect a USB port of your PC to a USB connector on the rear panel of the programmer by means of the USB cable. Make sure that the "Good" green LED on the programmer is on. It's highly recommended to connect the programmer to a USB slot on the computer main unit and not connect it through a USB hub. Use of the passive USB hubs for connecting the ISP programmers is not allowed.
|
Starting up
|
Start the Phyton ChipProgUSB program; if the programmer passes the startup test successfully the first dialog prompts you to choose one of the programmers to work with: ChipProg-48, ChipProg-40 or ChipProg-ISP. Select the ChipProg-ISP and continue. The ChipProgUSB main window will open and you will be able to work with the tool.
|
For the programmers to be used in a multi-programming mode, e.g. connected to one computer:
Connecting the programmers to a cluster
|
Connect USB ports of your PCs to USB connectors on the rear panels of the programmers by means of the USB cables. Make sure that the "Good" green LEDs on all the programmers are on. It's highly recommended to connect the programmers to USB slots on the computer main unit and not connect them through a USB hub. The ChipProg programmers get power from the computer's USB port; that is why it's important not to overload the ports. Use of the passive USB hubs for clustering the ISP programmers is not allowed.
|
Starting up
|
Start the Phyton ChipProgUSB - Gang Mode program; if all the programmers pass the startup test successfully the first dialog prompts you to assign the number from one to N to each programmer included in the cluster. To assign the number push a Start button on a top panel of each programmer one by one. Then the ChipProgUSB main window will open and you will be able to work with the tool.
