CompactLink mode

The ChipMaster Compact Professional is provided with an RS-232
interface to connect to a PC with a serial COM port or using a USB to
RS-232 converter. A companion software package CompactLink is
available which provides library management, test development and
debugging and user library update facilities. You can also use
CompactLink to update the software of your ChipMaster Compact
without replacing the internal memory or opening the case.
To enter CompactLink mode, user the MODE/CLEAR key to enter
CMLINK mode, then press TEST/EXEC. Press TEST/EXEC again to
confirm that you wish to enter CompactLink mode, and the display will
show "Not Connected". Run the CompactLink software on your PC,
connect the serial cable and follow the CompactLink manual instructions
to connect to the ChipMaster Compact Professional.
For comprehensive instructions on using CompactLink please refer to
the manual and built-in help supplied with the software.
Note that in CompactLink mode, including waiting for a connection, the
normal power down timeout is disabled and the unit will remain on for
ever. We recommend using a battery eliminator when using
CompactLink mode to develop test programmes.
