Other - Dataman -448PRO2 User Manual

For in-system programmable devices manufacturers publish application notes. Design of
DATAMAN programmers together with respect of these application notes allows proper In-
system programming. Condition is exactly respecting these application notes.

There is needful for regular running of control program for any DATAMAN programmer that
printer port, on which is programmer connected, must be reserved for this programmer only.
Otherwise, any other program must not simultaneously to use (or any way to modify) this
printer port.
PG4UW SW can handle all modes of LPT port (full IEEE 1284 support), thus you don't need
to configure LPT port for connection of DATAMAN programmers.
Please don't move Info window during BUSY LED is on - watching circuit can be activate to
switch the programmer in safe status as in case communication PC-programmer error.
LPT port driver
For programmers connected through parallel LPT port, control program requires correctly
installed LPT port driver. LPT port driver installation and uninstallation is made automatically
by installation program. Normally there are no problems with the driver. But sometimes driver
can not be initialized correctly. It is especially in the case that no LPT1 port is present in the
Windows NT/2000/XP operating systems. When the LPT port driver is not initialized, control
program can not detect any LPT ports in the system.
If LPT port on PCMCIA or Express Card is used, the card must be installed in computer
before starting of operating system.
LPT driver requires port LPT1 to be present in the operating system. Please check the
parallel port LPT1 is present in the system.
The short description, how to see LPT ports present in operating system:
1. click to "Start" menu
2. click with right mouse button to "My computer" item and select menu "Properties
3. in the "System properties" dialog select "Hardware" page and click to "Device manager"
button
4. in the "Device manager" dialog select "Ports (Com & LPT)" (double click), it will show the
list of all present LPT and COM ports
There should be displayed at least one present LPT port. If there are present one or
more LPT ports but with numbers other than LPT1, it is necessary to change one of the
LPT ports to LPT1 port. Follow the steps bellow (steps 1. - 4.)
5. double click to selected LPT port to show properties of the port
6. in the "LPT port properties" dialog select the page "Port settings"
7. change number of LPT port to LPT1 by "LPT Port Number" setting
8. click OK button
9. restart the operating system
(even if system does not require restart, it is necessary to perform system restart to correctly
initialize our LPT port driver)
