3.6 Detecting attached programmers

3.6.1 Overview

An ISPnano programmer can communicate to a controlling PC via RS232, RS485 or USB. It is factory
configured to have the 'Communications Node Address' set to '0'. If you know that the attached
ISPnano programmer is configured as 'Address 0', then you simply need to make sure that the
'Communications Address' in EQTools is set to '0' and then EQTools should be able to
communicate with the programmer. This is the standard setting for EQTools and an ISPnano
programmer.
If the attached programmer has been configured with an address which in not '0' or you have multiple
programmers attached on the RS485 bus, then the simplest way to find out which programmers are
attached is to use the 'Detect Programmer(s)' utility in EQTools.

3.6.2 Using the 'Detect Programmer(s)' utility

The instructions below detail how to detect one or more programmers which are connected to the PC.
Instructions
Launch EQTools
•
Select <Programmer> <Detect Programmer(s)>
•
EQTools will now scan addresses 0 to 31 for attached programmers.
•
A list of the attached programmers which have been detected will then be displayed. In the
•
example below 12 x ISPnano programmers have been detected with 'Node Addresses'
ranging from 0 to 11.
