Why is it important to use the latest version
of the control program?

Our commitment is to implement support for these new or
modified parts before or as soon as possible after their release,
so that you can be sure that you are using latest and/or optimal
programming algorithms that were created for this new device.
devices with new package types, manufactured by new
technologies in order to support the need for flexibility, quality
and speed in product design and manufacturing. To keep
pace and to keep you up-to-date, we usually implement more
than 500 new devices into the control program within a year.

These
algorithms, which need to be upgraded (the programming
algorithm is a set of instructions that tells the programmer
how to program data into a particular target device). Using
the newest algorithms in the programming process is the key
to obtaining high quality results. In many cases, while the
older algorithm will still program the device, they may not
provide the level of data retention that would be possible with
an optimal algorithm. Failure to not use the most current
algorithm can decrease your programming yields (more
improper programmed target devices), and may often
increase programming times, or even affect the long term
reliability of the programmed device.
