Best "value for money" in this class. 865 interfaces with the IBM PC, AT or higher, portable or desktop personal computers. Programmer allows you to directly connect to your PC through any standard parallel (printer) port (no special interface card needed).
Page 19 865 has 48 powerful pindrivers in base unit, expandable up to 256 pindrivers using "pindriver expansion" modules. Advanced pin drivers incorporate high-quality high-speed circuitry to deliver programming testing performance without overshoot or ground bounce for all device technologies. Pin drivers operate down to 1.8V so you'll be ready to program the full range of today's advanced low-voltage devices.
Page 20 PLCC, DIL to PSOP, DIL to SOIC, DIL to TQFP and DIL to TSOP. Software controlled pin-swapping capability together with universal converters are what give the 865 the ability to program the target device in any package type. For example, just one DIL44 to PLCC44 converter will allow the 865 to handle any PLCC44 target device in the current device list.
Page 21 "adapters.txt" included with the control program. It is important to remember that in most cases new devices require only a software upgrade since the 865 has 48 true pin drivers, which can perform as required under program control. With our prompt service new devices can be added to...

Introduction 848 is a small and powerful EPROM, EEPROM, Flash EPROM and serial EEPROM programmer and static RAM tester, designed for professional mobile applications. In addition, 848 programmer with auxiliary modules support also microprocessors (MCS48, MCS51, PICmicro, AVR), GALs, etc. Generators for supply voltage and programming voltage are digitally controlled and level of H can be limited, therefore programmer can work with 'true LV' device too - from 2V.
Page 57 Taking into consideration the 848 programmer design, protective circuits, and the components used, the manufacturer is able to provide a one-year warranty on parts and labor for the programmer (limited 25,000-cycle warranty on the ZIF socket).

Buffer / View/Edit This command is used to view (view mode) or edit (edit mode) data in buffer (for viewing in DUMP mode only).
Page 115 Software switch the mode of buffer data view between 8 bit and 16 bit view. It can be also do by mouse clicking on the button to the right of View/Edit mode buffer indicator. This button indicates actual data view mode (8 bit or 16 bit), too. checksum dialog allows to count checksum of selected block of buffer change mode view / edit...
Page 116 Direction box specifies which way you want to search, starting from the current cursor position (In edit mode). Forward (from the current position or start of buffer to the end of the buffer) is the default. Backward searches toward the beginning. In view mode searches all buffer.
Page 117 Software Note: Characters 0 and 1 immediately changes content of edit area. Buffer / Fill block Selecting this command causes filling selected block of buffer by requested hex (or ASCII) string. Sets start and end block for filling and requested hex or ASCII string. Buffer / Copy block This command is used to copy specified block of data in current buffer on new address.

Page 120: Options
Options The Options menu contains commands that let you view and change various default settings. Options / General options General options dialog allows user to control following options of program. File options File options page allows you to set file masks, auto-reload of current file and choose file format recognizing for loaded files.
Page 121 Software Example: A file contents data by Motorola S - format. A data block started at address FFFF0H. It is a S2 format with length of address array of 3 bytes. For all data reading you can set a value of negative offset to FFFF0H. It means, that the offset will be subtracted from current real addresses and so data will be written from buffer address 0.
Page 122: Save Options
Save options Save options page allows you to select the program options saving when exiting program. Three options are available here: Don't save options - don't save options during quitting program and don't ask for saving options. Auto save options - save options during quitting program without asking for saving options.
Page 123 Software Speed - sets speed, if a manual establishing communication is selected, which PC sends data into the programmer. Speed is expressed as a percent from a maximal speed. The communication speed modification is important for PCs with "slow" LPT ports, which haven't sufficient driving power for a PC<->programmer cable (laptop, notebook, ...).
Page 124 settings are saved to configuration file by command Options / Save options or when control program is closed. Handler is not available for sale. Options / Module options This option is used for multiple socket programmers for defining MASTER socket and activity of each socket. MASTER socket group box allows user to set socket which is preferentially used...
Page 125 Software This setting is saved to disk by command Options / Save options. Options / Log file This options associates with using of Log window. All reports for this window can be written into the Log file too. The Log file name as REPORT.REP and the control program creates this file in current directory.
Page 126 Options / Save options This command saves all settings that are currently supported for saving, even if auto-save is turned off. Following options are saved: options under the Options menu, ten last selected devices, file history, main program window position and size.
Page 127: Diagnostics
Software Diagnostics This command includes self test for programmers and IC test. Diagnostics / Self test Command executes a self test of current programmer without diagnostic POD. We recommend execute also Diagnostics / Self test plus of programmer. Diagnostics / Self test plus Command executes a self test of current programmer using diagnostic POD, which is included in standard delivery of programmer.

Options. If you use package converter with come pins coupled by capacitor, enter list of these pins. Automatic YES! feature is available for 865, 864, 844A programmer only. Some special devices (e.g. Philips Coolrunner family) require external DAT files, that isn't present in standard PG4U/PG4UW SW delivery on CD.
Page 133: Hardware
Hardware Due a large variety of parallel port types, a case may occur when the programmer cannot "get concerted" with the PC. This problem may be shown as none communication between the PC and the programmer, or by unreliable communication. If this behavior occur, try to connect your programmer to some other PCs or other parallel ports near you.
Page 134: Isp (In-System Programming)
ISP (In-System Programming) Definition In-system programming allows programming reprogramming of device positioned inside the end system. Using a simple interface, the ISP programmer communicates serially with the device, reprogramming nonvolatile memories on the chip. In-system programming eliminates the physical removal of chips from the system. This will save time, and money, both during development in the lab, and when updating the software or parameters in the field.
Page 135 Note: When you don’t keep below directions and you damage programmer during in-system programming, it is damage of programmer by unqualified manipulation and is out of warranty. 1. Turn off both devices – ISP programmer and target device. 2. Assign same GND potential for all devices, e.g. connect GND of all devices by wire.

Page 148 Note: • if you haven't installed the latest version of control program, you can get it from www.bkprecision.com page (Download section). It is very important to have latest version of software, because: a) it is possible the problem you have is already solved by software update b) we don't save older version of software.
Page 149 Why is it important to use the latest version of the control program? • Semiconductor manufacturers continuously introduce new devices with new package types, manufactured by new technologies in order to support the need for flexibility, quality and speed in product design and manufacturing. To keep pace and to keep you up-to-date, we usually implement more than 500 new devices into the control program within a year.
Page 150: Appendix C - Algor Service
Appendix C - AlgOR service (Algorithms On Request) AlgOR is a free service, by which we respond, as flexible as possible on the customer's request to implement programming support for new devices. This service may be used also for requesting new features of the control program. AlgOR process is simple.
Page 151 Use this form please, if you request to add unsupported device into control program or you request to add/change some feature of control program. Fill-out this form completely and send it by e-mail, fax or snail-mail directly to B+K PRECISION. Incomplete form mean lowest level of interest from customer's side.
