1.1 INTRODUCTION
Data I/O's 29B Universal Programmer utiiizes moduiar
programming paks to reliably pmgiam most commercia!!y
available programmable memory and logic devices. The
family code and pinout code tabie at the back of the Pak
manual lists the devices {by manufacturer),
Standard features of the 29B include a 64K x 8 data RAM,
an RS232C serial port and a 16-character alphanumeric
display. The 29B also offers 27 data translation formats
which enable you to communicate between the 29B and
development systems, such as Texas Instruments,
Motorola, Intel, Tektronix, Signetics, Fairchild, RCA and
Hewlett-Packard. In addition, the standard system includes
two remote control protocols. The Data
1/0
Computer
Remote Control (CRC) communication protocol provides
CRC operation that is compatible with other Data
1/0
products. System Remote Control (SRC) utilizes a simple
command protocol that is similar to the syntax featured in
the 29B front panel control to initiate rapid start-up in
remote operation. Both of these remote-control features
are futty documented fn section
3
(Operation).
The 29B also offers the following optional features. If you
wish to purchase any of these features, contact your
nearest Data
1/0
sales representative; a list of sales
representatives is provided at the back of this manual.
• Terminal Remote Control (TRCi-an optional package,
compatible with Data I/O's System 1903.
• Handler Interface-an optional feature that allows you
to connect the 298 to a Delta or MCT device handler.
The combination of a 29B, Handler UniPak™, and
device handler enables you to program large quantities
of both MOS (metal oxide semiconductor) and bipolar
PROMs (programmable read only memories) with
minimum operator handling.
NOTE
Although other programming Paks can
be used, neither the Pak I handler
interface nor the 298 Handler port cable
is provided. The Handler port is required.
When using the Exatron 2500 handler, the optional handler
interface is not necessary and other programming paks
(other than the Handler UniPak™l can be used. Exatron
provides the interface necessary for operation with the 298.
• Serial Paper Tape Reader (950-1950)-can be used to
transmit data from a paper tape to your 298.
This manuai describes the components and operation of
the 298. Subjects addressed in this manual and the
