Introduction
The DATAMAN-48XP is an intelligent high performance,
PC-based universal programmer that works through your PC′s
parallel port. It features a 48-pin ZIF socket and supports many
of the programmable chips on the market. These include CPLD,
EPROM, EEPOM, Serial EEPROM, Flash memory and MCU.
The D48XP has an extremely high throughput, supports both
5V and 3V devices in both Vcc and I/O. Lower voltage chips
(for example 1.8V Vcc and I/O) can also be programmed
through a special adapter. Device insertion and continuity
checks are also part of the PC-based design. Device support
updates are issued through our software, giving our customers
quick and easy access to new device support without hardware
upgrades.

Features
Universal adapter up to 48 pin
The DATAMAN-48XP is designed to meet your future needs in
high density Flash chips. Using the resources of your PC, it
supports 32K bit up to over 1G bit memory chips without
upgrading its hardware. The DATAMAN-48XP also has
universal adapters that accommodate 48-pin TSOP, 44-pin
PLCC, 40-pin TSOP or 32-pin TSOP packages. Each adaptor
supports all the chips in a package regardless of pin swapping.
This is possible due to the universal pin driver technology on
the DATAMAN-48XP, eliminating the need to buy multiple
adapters and saving you money.

Unbeatable speed
The DATAMAN-48XP′s on-board intelligence reduces system
overhead to a minimum. It can program Flash devices within
2.5 seconds per Mbit (for example, AMD29DL323 can be
2
 programmed by DATAMAN-48XP within 80 seconds). An
experienced operator can program thousands of high-density
chips per day.

Device-insertion and continuity checks – No mistakes!

The DATAMAN-48XP performs device-insertion and
continuity checks before programming each device. It can
detect poor pin contact, upside-down device insertion, incorrect
position, and pin number mismatch. This function prevents
expensive chip damage caused by operator error.

Auto-sensing and self-programming

The DATAMAN-48XP has implemented patented technology
to meet mass-production requirements. When a chip is inserted
into the ZIF socket, the DATAMAN-48XP will start to program
automatically, the operator just needs to follow the LEDs to
know when to remove the chip and insert a new one without
them needing to press any keys.

Project file “Save and Load”

You can save the program configuration project to a file that
contains the device selection, the buffer data, and all of the
program setup options. This file can be recalled at any time for
future use without having to go through the setup procedure
again. This allows you to pass your design file to the
production department without mistakes.

Variable VCC with one or two-pass verification

The DATAMAN-48XP allows users to select the verification
voltage after programming is complete, e.g., Vcc +/-5%,
Vcc+/-10%, Vcc can range from 2V to 7.5V. Verification
ensures that the chips have been properly programmed with no
data retention problems.

File Commands
Save Buffer to File
Menu File / Save Buffer
Hot key Alt-S
This option is used to save the memory buffer to a file on the
hard disk. Select a file using the mouse, or type a filename in
the box provided. You can also type in a file extension. (e.g.
*.hex) at the ‘Name’ prompt. This will display all the files of
the specified type. You can then select the required file to
overwrite.

11
12
File name Specify the filename and destination you
want to save to.

File format Select the file format of your output file. To

display a list of available file formats, click
on the down arrow to the right of the text
field. Supported file formats include:
Binary, HP64000ABS, Intel Hex, MOS
Technology Hex, Motorola S format,
Tektronic Hex, and Straight Hex.

Buffer mode This Buffer mode is to split your buffer

according to the mode selection, details of
the split function are explained below.

Normal (default)
Every byte is written to the output file.

Odd
Every Odd byte is written to the output file.

Even
Every Even byte is written to the output file. The
following four options are used to write the buffer into
four different files:
1st byte of 4
This writes the bytes 1,5,9,13, … into the output file.
2nd byte of 4
This writes the bytes 2,6,10,14, ... into the output file.

13
 3rd byte of 4
This writes the bytes 3,7,11,15, ... into the output file.
4th byte of 4
This writes the bytes 4,8,12,16, … into the output file.

From Buffer address This specifies the start address of

the buffer you want to save to the
file, default is from 0000h, any
address (from 0h to the Max. of
the buffer address can be
selected)

Buffer size The buffer size depends on the chip you

select, for example if you select 29F010 (the
buffer size will be 1Mbit which is 20000h)

Load File to Buffer

Menu File / Load File
Hot key Alt-L
This option loads a file from disk into the memory buffer. The
type of files that can be loaded for a device depends on the
device type.
Select a file to load using the mouse, or type the filename in
the box provided. You can also type in a file extension. (e.g.
*.hex) at the name prompt. This will display all the files of the
specified type, and you can then select the required file to load.

14
15
16
Filename This specifies the file name and its destination

Auto Format Detected

The software automatically detects the format of the file that
is to be loaded. If the desired format of the file is different
from the format detected, select the correct file format by
moving the cursor to the selection menu and changing it to
the desired file format. Available file formats include: Binary,
HP64000ABS, Intel Hex, MOS Tech Hex, Motorola S
format, TEK Hex, and Straight Hex.

From File to Buffer

This option indicates which bytes must be read from the
input file. By default it will load the entire file into the buffer.
You can specify that the file be loaded in the following ways:
Even (loads the even bytes into the buffer), Odd (loads the
odd bytes into the buffer), also 1st byte of 4, 2nd byte of 4, 3rd
byte of 4, 4th byte of 4. For details, see the “Save Buffer to
File” section of this manual.

To Buffer
This option indicates where the previously read byte is to be
written. This enables you to ‘build’ the memory buffer from
several files. By default, the whole file will be loaded into
the buffer. Even means the file will be loaded as every even
byte in the buffer. Odd means the file will be loaded as every
odd byte in the buffer. The other options are 1st of 4 byte, 2nd
of 4 byte, 3rd of the 4 byte, and 4th of the 4 byte.

From File Address

Only a selected range of the file will be loaded into the
buffer, enter the address that contains the first byte into this
box, this is the starting address of the section of the file to be
loaded.

17
To Buffer Address
Starting address of the buffer to load the file into. If the data
is to be copied into a specific area of the buffer, enter the
starting address here.

Size
This box contains the buffer size. By default, it is the same
size as the device selected on the DATAMAN-48XP main
screen. If you want to download a file into the memory that
is bigger than the active device, enter the size here (or in
Options | Operation Options).

Clear Buffer Options

Four options are available while loading data into the buffer.
The default option is to clear the buffer to its blank state
prior to loading data.

Disable
This option leaves the original buffer data unchanged, but
then overwrites it with the contents of the newly loaded
file.
Blank state (default)
This option clears the buffer to the devices blank state,
(using command 00 or FF, depending on device selection),
then overwrites the buffer during file loading.
0x00
First clears the buffer of its contents using command 00,
then overwrites the buffer with the new file contents
0xFF
First clears the buffer of its contents using command FF,
then over-writes the buffer with the new file contents.

Menu Project / Save Project
Hot key Alt-F1
This option saves the current setup of the DATAMAN-48XP
software into a project file. The file includes selected devices,
buffer data, operation setup, and device configuration setup.
You can also attach a footnote to the project file. The project
file acts as a macro, eliminating the need to go through the
whole setup procedure during future programming sessions.

Load Project
Menu Project / Load Project File
Hot key Alt-F2
This option loads the desired project file. After the project file
has been loaded, you can immediately program a device using
the preset data and setup functions from the Project file.

Device Commands

Menu Device / Change Device
Hot key Alt-C

20
This option is used to select a new active device. It is important
to select the correct device, as the algorithms used to program
devices are device-specific. The following screen will appear:

Figure 4.1 Screen for selecting Change Device

Special note in device package and its selection

In the above screen, you can find both AT89C51 and
AT89C51*44 selections, the AT89C51 means this is a 40 pin
DIP chip, no adapter is required and 89C51*44 means the chip
is 44 pin PLCC or QFP/TQFP, adaptor required. After selecting
the 89C51*44, at the bottom of the software screen will be
displayed chip information and the adapter requirement. In this
example, it shows SDP-UNIV-44 as the recommend adapter, it
means for a 44 pin PLCC chip, you need the 44 pin PLCC
universal adapter, if your chip is 44 QFP or TQFP, you will
need a 44pin QFP (SDP-UNIV-44TQ) or a 44pin TQFP
(SDP-UNIV-44TQ) adapter.
If you have a 3rd party 44 pin PLCC adapter that swaps the 44

21
pin PLCC chip into a 40 pin DIP (emulate the 44 pin PLCC as
a 40 pin DIP), you can select the 89C51 in device selection and
use this 3rd party adapter.

Other useful examples in device, package and adapter.

1) For example a 1M bit flash (29F010), this chip has three
kinds of package, 32 pin DIP, 32 pin PLCC and 32 pin
TSOP, in the DATAMAN-48XP software, it is only
available in DIP package under device selection, to
program a 32 PLCC chip, you will need a 32 pin DIP to 32
pin PLCC one to one pin swap adapter (PLCC 3232-11),
for 32 pin TSOP, you will need a SDP-UNIV-32TS.
2) For example, a GAL22V10 chip, this chip has two
packages (24 pin DIP or 28 pin PLCC),
DATAMAN-48XP only shows 24 pin DIP in device
selection, to program the 28 pin PLCC, a 28 pin PLCC
to 24 pin DIP adapter to emulate the 24 pin DIP chip is
required (PLCC 2824-04).
3) 27C128/256 EPROM chip, this chip is available in 28
pin DIP and 32 pin PLCC, to program the 32 pin PLCC,
you need a 32 pin PLCC to 28 pin DIP adapter, it
emulates the 32 pin PLCC as a 28 pin DIP, this adapter
is PLCC 3228-11.
4) Other SOIC chips may have the DIP/SOIC package, if
the chip has the same pin out and pin count in DIP and
SOIC, select the DIP with universal SOIC adapter
which will program the SOIC chip (for example
Pic16F73 with SDP-UNIV-28SO/300 adapter will
program a 16F73 SOIC chip).

22
1. Select the type of device that will be the active device.

mouse, use the TAB key to skip between the various
screens, and use the arrow keys to move around in each
screen.

Auto Select EPROM

Menu Device/ Auto Select EPROM
Hot key Alt-A
This function allows the user to detect which EPROM/Flash
chip has been inserted in the DATAMAN-48XP ZIF socket, all
the EPROM or Flash memory devices have a manufacturers ID
and device ID in the chips (hardware ID). When performing
this function, the DATAMAN-48XP applies a 12V high voltage
to the A9 location on the chip, then reads back the chip’s

23
hardware ID and compares it to the library then display the
possible chip in the window.
This Auto ID is only available for 32 pin or 28 pin EPROM
and Flash memory chips, it can not be applied to MCU, PLD or
other serial PROM, EPROM/Flash. Chips with over 40 pins do
not have this function since the A9 location is not standardized
for chips over 40 pins, using such a function may damage the
chip since a 12V high voltage is applied to the chip which can
cause damage to the chip by accident.

Mass-production Mode
Menu Device / Mass Produce

The DATAMAN-48XP can be used as a mass-production

programmer for manufacturing. When in mass production
mode, all keyboard and mouse functions are disabled. The
operator needs only to insert the chip into the ZIF socket, wait
until the green LED next to the socket flashes, remove the
programmed chip and insert a new chip. Anyone can do the job
without special training or skills. Since all keyboard and mouse
functions are disabled, the possibility of errors being caused by
pressing the wrong keys or changing the buffer′s contents are
eliminated.
In mass production mode, the DATAMAN-48XP first performs
an insertion test and an ID check on a newly inserted chip. It
then automatically programs the chip.
Note: The insertion test must be enabled in operation option
set up in mass-production mode to ensure yield rate of
programming.

Necessary set up in mass production mode.

After entering mass production mode a series of screens will

24
display asking the user to complete the set up and confirm it,
first you need to fill out the operation set up menu (for
operation set up, please reference to the device operation
option section) then the configuration set up menu (this
configuration set up menu is device specific, only chips with a
configuration register have this menu and the contents are
different from chip to chip), reference to device configuration
section. The last set up menu is statistic configuration, for set
up details of the statistics please refer to the statistics section of
this manual.

Mass Production Mode

After the user has completed the setup above, the Mass
Production screen (figure 4.2) will be displayed. When the user
inserts a device into the ZIF socket, the white segments on the
diagram of the ZIF will change to green. If a segment remains
white, this indicates poor or no contact on the corresponding
pin.
Once contact is established on all pins the device can be
programmed. When programming is complete the green LED
on the programmer will flash and the PC will generate an
audible alert. The operator can then remove the device and
insert a new one into the ZIF.
Any error in programming will be signified by the contact
segments on the diagram of the ZIF turning red and the PC
generating a two tone alert. Once the error has been resolved,
programming will continue until either the target quantity or
the maximum failure rate (set in the Statistic Setup) has been
reached.

Menu Device / Modify vector
Hot Key Alt-V
This command is only available when a PLD has been selected
as the active device, the option is used to modify the vectors

30
that will be used to test a device after the logical chip has been
programmed, this test vector is usually generated by 3rd party
PLD design tools when the circuit diagram and layout for the
chip is done. The JEDEC file is downloaded into the
DATAMAN-48XP, and it also contains the test vector that will
be used to test the device for correct programming and function.
The following screen will be displayed when you are viewing
the Vectors:

The purpose of the buttons are as follows:

Undo
When the changes are made, the changed areas are highlighted.
If you wish to undo this change, just click this button. It will
restore the value prior to editing. When a position that is
highlighted scrolls off the screen the changes made become
permanent and you cannot reverse them by clicking this button.

Insert
You can insert a line of vectors by clicking this button. The

31
position where the line will be inserted depends on the position
of the cursor. The line will be inserted before the line the cursor
is on. The contents of the “editing clipboard” are shown at the
bottom of the editing screen. The contents of the clipboard will
be inserted when this button is clicked.

Copy
This button copies the line the cursor is on to the editor
clipboard.

Cut
This button copies the current line to the clipboard, and also
removes it from the memory. Use this button in conjunction
with “insert” to move the contents of a line to another position.

Edit the test vector

Vectors are input in standard JEDEC format. The vector buffer
is arranged in rows and columns. The following test condition
codes can be use as the test vector/s.
0 Driver input low
1 Driver input high
C Driver input low, high, low (clock)
F Float input or output
H Test output high
K Driver input high, low, high (clock)
L Test output low
N Power pin and the outputs not test
X Output not tested, input default level
Z Test input/output with high impedance

32
Blank Checking a Device
Menu Device / Blank Check
Hot key Alt-B
This option checks if the active device is in its erased state. It
will return a message stating “Device not blank!” at the first
occurrence of data in the device. The address where the data is
found will also be displayed.

Reading a Device
Menu Device / Read
Hot key Alt-R
This option reads a master chip into the memory buffer for
duplication of a master chip. Prior to executing this command,
the chip must be selected in the software, and then a
corresponding chip should be inserted into the socket to be
programmed.

Programming a Device
Menu Device / Program / Auto
Hot key Alt-P
This option programs the active device with the contents of the
memory buffer, when the programming is complete,
verification will take place. The type of verification depends on
the “verification options” set in the options | Operation menu.

33
Figure 4-4 Programming progress screen

Verifying a Device
Menu Device / Verify
Hot key Alt- V
This function compares the contents of the active device with
the contents of the memory buffer. It will display an error
message and the address if it finds an address where the data
differs. It will also abort the process when this happens.

Figure 4-5 Device verification screen

Memory Protect/program configuration

Menu Device / Memory Protect
Hot key ALT-U (PLD only)
This function is a device-specific command; it appears on the
main menu only when chips that have this capability are
selected.
For example GAL, CEPAL, Microprocessor, and some Flash
memory, this function must be configured before use. When
you have enabled the configuration (ALT-G), you can set the
desired value and status in the buffer then performing this
command will program the configuration data into the chips,
most users will program the main memory first then program
the configuration (two steps). However in Mass production
mode, the user can enable the memory protect / program
configuration in the device operation menu, after the main
memory buffer has been loaded and configuration byte data has

35
been set to the desired value, the programmer will
automatically program the main memory and set the
configuration byte in a single command (program or mass
production mode program).

Special note for program configuration/ memory protect

This option only applies to devices with configuration registers
or if it has a read protect function on it. Enabling this option
will automatically program the main buffer into the chip
without the need to perform memory protect separately.
Enabling this option only protects the chip if you have set the
lock bit to enabled in the configuration setup menu.

Function Test (only available for logic chip)

Menu Device/ Function test
Hot key Alt-T
This function is only available when a logical device has been
selected, it applies the test vector to the device and compares
the outputs with the expected outputs. It tests if the logical chip
has been programmed correctly after the chip has been secured
and the fuse map is not readable again. It displays a message
indicating success or failure, if there is a failure it displays the
vector number and which pin did not match the expect result.
Before performing the memory test, you can modify the vector
and set up the options in the operation screen.
First Enable the function test or function test after secure
in options.
Second Select the function test voltage with once or twice.
Third Define the “X” don’t care state in the vector;
High/Low or high impedance
Fourth Select the error display format.

36
Important notice in function test
To perform function test after programming a PLD chip, the
input file must contain the test vectors or the user has to have
created the vectors by himself, in the options under the
operation menu, function test is enabled by default, which
means after programming the PLD, the DATAMAN-48XP will
perform the function test automatically, if no vector is in the
buffer, the DATAMAN-48XP will report “no test vector in
buffer”, if the test vector does not match the behavior of the
chip after the vector test, an error will be displayed along with
vector number and which pin expected low/high but received
high/low. For PLD devices in PLCC packages (GAL 20V8 as
example), the DATAMAN-48XP software only supports 24 pin
in DIP if you need to program a 28 PLCC chip with a PLCC
adapter, the DATAMAN-48XP will program the chip but the
function test will fail since the pin is mismatched with the chip
(the chip is 28 pin but is emulated as a 24 pin chip with the
adapter), the vector data will not match the device data in pin
out.

Erasing a Device
Menu Device / Erase
Hot key Ctrl-F1
This function is a device-specific command; it appears on the
main menu only after electronically erasable chips have been
selected. The function can be used to erase a specific memory
range from a chip.

Compare
Menu Device/compare
Hot Key Ctrl-F3
This command is only available for memory devices, the

37
compare command is to compare the buffer data with the
device data, when the first data difference is found, the
software will stop and report the difference between the data in
the buffer and the data in the device, pressing the next button in
the software screen will continue the compare process.

Device Configuration
Menu Device / Configuration
Hot key Alt-G
This function is a device-specific command for devices with
configuration registers available in the chip, a configuration
register is used as a special function register for the chip, it
changes the behavior of the chip such as, OSC type, watch dog
enable, code protection, and other functions. To write the
configuration register into the chip, edit the configuration menu
to your desired value then perform memory protect/ program
configuration.

Options

Modify Programming Parameters

Menu Options / parameters modify
Hot key F3
This function allows a user to modify the programming
parameters of the chip being programmed. With the
programming parameters for the selected chip appearing on
screen, the user activates the “modify algorithm screen” and
changes the parameters by moving the cursor to the
corresponding field and changing the value to the desired value.
If a value entered exceeds the allowable limits for a given
parameter, a warning will be displayed, together with allowable
limits, after the user attempts to confirm the setting by pressing
“OK”.
Warning: Only experienced users should use this option, as it
can damage the device if the voltage exceeds the Max tolerance
of the device.
As the programming parameters are for temporary use only,
they cannot be saved. After you select a new device or exit the
DATAMAN-48XP software the original parameters will
automatically be restored.

Device Operation Options

Menu Options / Operation options
Hot key F4

39
Figure 4-8 Example screen: Device-specific operation options

The following options can be set:

Start address, End address
This is the start and the end address of the edit buffer. If you
want to program a certain area of a device, you can change
the start and end addresses accordingly.
This option is only displayed when the device can be
programmed in this way.
When the end address is calculated, it divides the buffer size
by (device-bits/8-bits). A 16-bit device, of which the buffer

40
size is 80 (Hex), will therefore have an end address of 3F.
When selecting a start or an end-address, you should align the
buffer on the right boundary: single-word for 8-bit devices,
double word for 16-bit devices, etc.

Buffer size
This is the memory buffer in the DATAMAN-48XP software,
once the chip is selected, the software opens the buffer to
match the chip size, the user can edit this buffer size to
enlarge it to 256 M bit Max (4000000h).

Auto increment start/end address

This function allows the user to program memory chips with
different serial numbers in specific locations without having
to edit the buffer each time. Specifying the serial number
location is done by editing the auto increment start address
and auto increment end address, editing the initial contents
with buffer edit and setting up the increment value and format
is done through this menu.

Auto increment value

This set each increment value after initial value.

Auto increment data format selection

Binary increment format example
0, 1, 10,11,100, 101,110,111, 1000,1001,1010,1011,1100
ASCII Hex format example
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F,10,11,12, …
ASCII Decimal Hex format example
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17, …
Modulo-26 format example
A,B,C,D,E,F, … ,Z,AA,AB,AC, ….

41
Insertion Test
This option performs a device-insertion check of the chip in
the socket. The insertion check includes poor pin contact, pin
count mismatch (the pin count of the chip designated in the
software does not match the pin count of the actual chip in the
socket), device in wrong position, device upside-down;
short-circuit between pins, and chip damage. Result is
displayed at the socket′s LED’s.

Device ID Check
This option performs a device signature and manufacturer
match test. With the chip selected and plugged into the socket,
DATAMAN-48XP checks the device ID and displays the
results of each check on the LED display.

Verify Passes
Checking this option will instruct the DATAMAN-48XP to
perform device verification with the buffer data when
programming is complete. When verify passes is enabled, one
of the three verify options (as described below) must be set.

Verifying Options
The following three options are available for verification of
data retention following programming: verify twice with Vcc

±5%, verify twice with Vcc ±10% , and verify once with Vcc.

These options will only be enabled if the ‘Verify passes’

option (see above) is enabled.

． ) Twice Vcc ±5%

(．

When this option is selected, the DATAMAN-48XP will do

two verify passes on the device: one using Vcc+5%, the other
Vcc-5%.

42
Example:
If Vcc is 5.0 V, the DATAMAN-48XP will do one verify pass
using a Vcc of 4.75 V, and one using a Vcc of 5.25 V.

． )Twice Vcc ±10%

(．

When this option is selected, the DATAMAN-48XP will do

two verify passes on the device: one using Vcc+10%, the other
Vcc –10%.
Example:
If Vcc is 5.0 V, the DATAMAN-48XP will do one verify pass
using a Vcc of 4.5 V, and one using a Vcc of 5.5 V.

(．)Once

If this option is selected, the DATAMAN-48XP will do one

verify pass-using Vcc.

Blank Check
This option performs a device blank check test before
programming. This option can be disabled for brand new
chips to save time. For electronically erasable chips, enabling
the auto-erase/overwrite option will allow the
DATAMAN-48XP to automatically erase the chips if they are
not blank initially.

Program configuration/memory protect

This option only applies to devices with configuration
registers or if it has a read protect function on it, enabling this
option will automatically program the main buffer into the
chip then program the configuration set up without the need to
perform memory protect separately. Enabling this option only
protects the chip if in the configuration set up menu, you have
set the lock bit to enabled.

43
Auto-Erase/Overwrite Option
This option only applies to chips, which are electronically
erasable for example Flash memory, Flash based MCU or GAL
and so on. It causes the DATAMAN-48XP to automatically
erase a non-blank chip prior to programming (there will be no
warning message “Device is not blank, are you going to
program”).

Auto increment (only available to memory device)

This enables the auto increment function that allows a user to
program different serial numbers into the chip without editing
the buffer each time, for setup of auto increment, please refer
to the auto increment start address /end address, increment
value and format section.

Parallel Port Selection

Menu options / parallel port
Hotkey F5
This command allows the user to select which parallel port the
DATAMAN-48XP device programmer is connected to. Default
setting is auto search, after executing the DATAMAN-48XP
software, it auto detects which LPT port the DATAMAN-48XP
programmer is connected to, the user can select the LPT port
manually by specifying LPT port to avoid possible conflict
with drivers of another LPT device that is attached to the PC.

44
Statistic
Menu Options / Statistics
Hot key F6

Action
Enables either the counter or alarm when the target count or
maximum failure count reaches the preset limit.

Active
Specifies the action you want to count in the statistics function.
Mass production enable:
Counts the mass production quantity (chips) into the
statistic display.
Program enable:
Counts the program activities into the statistic display.
Verify enable:
Counts the number of verify operations into the display.
Blank check enable:
Counts the blank check activities into the statistic display

45
 Erase enable:
Counts the erase activities into the statistic display.
Memory protect enable:
Count the memory protect activities into the statistic
display.

Operation count
Counts the total number of operations and sets the target
quantities.

Failure count
Counts the total chip failure and sets the max chip failure
allowed. When the operation exceeds the maximum failure
count or reaches the target count an alarm or warning message
is displayed on the screen (depending on the action set in this
page).

Diagnostic

46
Dataman recommends that the user runs the self-test feature of
the Dataman-48XP prior to each day’s operation. The self-test
routine including testing the parallel port, LED display, Pin
driver, TTL driver, relay, D/A converter’s voltage drop and
other parameters, the following is an example test results
screen.

Any unexpected states are displayed with a purple color and

any error messages are reported at the end of the self-test, if an
error is highlighted you will need to return your
DATAMAN-48XP programmer to your distributor for repair.

The buffer can still be saved to disk, but only the first 64 KB will be
saved. The rest will be lost. Choose another file format if you need
to save the whole buffer.

Manufacturer’s Code unmatched!

This error message is returned when the DATAMAN-48XP does a
device ID check.
The device code found on the device is not as expected. You might

60
have selected an incorrect device as active device, or the device is
an older/newer version than the device supported by the
DATAMAN-48XP.
Select the correct device as active device. If the error still occurs,
download the latest release of the software from our website. If you
are sure that the device you are using uses the same programming
algorithm as a device that is supported, you can use that device as
the active device. You can then disable device code checking by
setting the Operating Options.

No device on socket!
The DATAMAN-48XP has not detected a device in the socket.
The inserted device may be damaged. Replace it with a similar
device and try again.

No test version in the buffer!

The memory buffer does not contain any test vectors. When the
DATAMAN-48XP tries to verify/function test a PLD, it displays
this message.
Download a file that contains test vectors before doing a function
test. Test vectors are usually included in JEDEC files.

Not enough memory available to complete operation!

There isn’t enough memory available to complete the requested
operation. Free some memory and retry the operation.

Over current detected!

A current higher than expected was found. This might indicate that
the device has been damaged or is in short-circuit.
Check the socket or replace the device.

61
Poor contact at pin %s!
The DATAMAN-48XP does an insertion test before
programming/erasing etc. any device.
This message indicates that the socket may be dirty; the device may
have been damaged etc. Clean the socket or replace the device with
another.

Record checksum/length error!

Usually this error indicates that a wrong file format has been
selected. It could also indicate that the input file has a record that
has been corrupted.
Selected the correct file format, or obtain a new copy of the input
file.

Tektronic hex file can be 64KB maximum!

This error is displayed when you want to save the buffer to a file,
and the buffer is bigger than 64KB.
The buffer can still be saved to disk, but only the first 64KB will be
saved. The rest will be lost.
Choose another file format if you need to save the whole buffer.

The pin number of test vectors in the buffer unmatched!

This message indicates that the test vectors in the buffer indicate a
different number of pins than actually found on the device.
This is caused when the wrong device is selected as the active
device, or the wrong file with test vectors is loaded into memory.
This error is also caused when an adapter is required for devices
with more than 48-pins. The test vectors try to drive the pins
directly, and this causes an error. Make sure that the file and device
correspond, and do not use test vectors on devices that need

62
adapters.

The system is in demo mode!

The DATAMAN-48XP was not found when the software was started
up, and went into “Demo mode”. You can still run the program
(some of it) but you cannot execute any hardware functions.

This function is not supported in demo mode!

The DATAMAN-48XP was not found when the software was started
up, and went into “Demo mode”. This function is not supported in
Demo Mode.

Time-out error!
The DATAMAN-48XP has not responded to a request for a long
time. This error may also happen when performing an erase on a
flash memory chip, when the chip does not erase successfully
within the time period, this message will be display, it means your
chip can not be erased, try a new chip.

Unexpected code/data/end-of-file/run-time instruction reached!
