Operating System, Hardware Requirements - Dataman S6 User Manual

b) If you need adapters for other kinds of IC package (for example, TSOP, PLCC, TQFP,
QFN ... etc.) we would advise that you contact Dataman. Do not use inferior quality
adapters or try to create adapters yourself. The Dataman-S6 programmer
communicates with the IC using a high-frequency signal. If external adapters are of
poor quality we will be unable to give any guarantee on the programming results!
2. When connecting the Dataman-S6 programmer to the computer please note:
a) You must use the supplied Y-type USB cable. Check that both USB plugs are
connected to the host computer before connecting the programmer. An ordinary
single USB cable is not suitable as it will not supply enough power to the unit and you
may experience problems with stability during programming.
b) When the Dataman-S6 software is launched and connection to the programmer is
established the programmer will check the USB power supply, if the power supply is
not sufficient a warning message will be displayed. If you are using an external USB
hub its supply may be limited. In which case you would need to use a power adapter
capable of (5V, 1A or greater) to improve it.
On the warning message window you can press the "Retry" button to re-test the
supply once you have made a change. You can also press the "Cancel" button to skip
the power detection. However by doing so the system can not guarantee 100%
correct operation.
