3.2 Programmer Control Mechanisms
The programmer can be controlled from EQTools, from a Remote System and via the Equinox ISP-
PRO software. An overview of the various control mechanisms is given below.
Standalone Operation (Keypad)
This indicates that the programmer can be operated without being connected to a PC or other control
system. In this case an operator can control programming operations using a keypad on the
programmer e.g. Epsilon5, FS200A, FS2003, PPM3-MK2
ASCII Text Mode Control
This indicates that the programmer can be controlled using a simple 'ASCII Serial Communications
Protocol'. This is ideal for applications where a Remote System wishes to control the programmer
using a serial communications link e.g. RS-232.
ISP-PRO Software
This software suite is capable of controlling up to 16 x Equinox Production ISP programmers on an
RS-485 network at the same time. All programming operations are controlled via 'Programming
Scripts' and 'Programming Projects' which have been created using EQTools. The application
minimises user intervention during programming and logs all programming operations to an Interface
Database.
Labview Control (PC)
This allows an Equinox programmer to be controlled by a remote Labview Application. The Labview
application can launch 'Programming Scripts' and read/write unique data such as serial numbers and
calibration data.
Remote Application Control (PC)
This allows an Equinox programmer to be controlled by a Remote Application written in e.g. Visual
Basic, C++ etc. The Remote Application can launch 'Programming Scripts' and read/write unique data
such as serial numbers and calibration data.
ConsoleEDS
ConsoleEDS is a ‘console application’ running under Windows which allows the programmer to be
controlled by simple command line commands. This is an ideal control method for use with Batch
Files or any Remote Application.
