3. Find Device Algorithm
Once you have reached the Keep Current Library, select the correct
algorithm. Algorithms are arranged by programmer and system software
version.
Keep Current filenames are represented as follows:
Each Keep Current algorithm is designed to work with a particular
version of system software. Only algorithms that are compatible with the
installed version of system software will be displayed on the
programmer’s Keep Current Part List screen.
A Keep Current algorithm and a version of your programmer’s system
software are compatible when the numbers to the left and immediate
right of the decimal point match. See the following example:
Keep Current algorithms are valid for only one major release of software
because they will be included with the next release of system software.

4. Download Algorithm
Algorithms come in a self-extracting file format. Place the Keep Current
file on a floppy disk and then expand the file by running it. The following
files should be created:
Note: Label the disk “Keep Current” and add the version number to avoid
mismatched software version numbers if it becomes necessary to use the
disk again.
You can also create these files in a sub-directory and transfer the files to a
disk using your programmer in terminal mode. Use the More
Commands/Transfer/Download screen, select format
16
(Absolute
Binary), and select
Disk
as the destination.
5. Use Algorithm
How you use a Keep Current algorithm depends upon whether or not the
algorithm appears on the programmer’s standard device list.
• If the algorithm is not listed in the standard device list, in terminal
mode use
Select Device/(1) Keep Current
. This algorithm can be
selected from the Select Device menu, but cannot be added to the
device list.
• If the algorithm is listed in the standard device list, in terminal mode
use
More Commands/Configure System/Keep Current/Replace-
Restore
. This will add the Keep Current algorithm to the device list.
By replacing algorithms you ensure that the latest algorithm is
available to all programmer users.

Sample Keep Current Scenario
The following example illustrates a typical Keep Current scenario:
1. In May, you update your system software to version
x
.4. At the same
time, you enroll in the Keep Current Subscription Service.
2. In June, Cruft Technologies announces a new device, the Cruft 1263.
3. A week later, Data I/O announces support for the Cruft 1263 and
places a Keep Current algorithm for the Cruft 1263 on the Keep
Current BBS and the Data I/O web page.
4. The next day you connect to the Keep Current Library via the BBS or
the web page and download the new algorithm for the Cruft 1263.
5. In August, Data I/O releases version
x
.5 system software, complete
with the new algorithm for the Cruft 1263.
6. You update your programmer to version
x
.5 system software. The
algorithm for the Cruft 1263 is part of the system software.
