1. Gather Information
Knowing the following information about the devices you will be
programming will enable you to find the correct algorithm once you are
connected.
• Manufacturer (
example
: AMD)
• Device name (
example
: 27c1024)
• Package type (
example
: 48-pin PLCC)
• Current version of the programmer software (
example
: 5.5)
2. Connect to Keep Current
Using the BBS
Use the following procedure to log on to the Keep Current BBS:
1.
Modem:
Call
425-882-3211
.
Internet:
Using telnet, go to
bbs.data-io.com
.
2. If this is the first time you have called, when the logon screen
appears, type
new
at the prompt to create a new account and provide
the requested information.
Note: Be sure to write down your user name and password for future reference.
This is your personal BBS account and should not be shared.
3. Press
L
to go to the Library menu.
4. Press
S
to select the Keep Current Library.
5. Press
F
to search for algorithms.
Using the Web
The Data I/O Home Page is located at www.data-io.com. Click on the
Keep Current image from the Home Page or from the Programmer
Device Support page.
3. Find Device Algorithm
When you reach the Keep Current Library, select the correct algorithm.
Algorithms are arranged by programmer and system software version.
Keep Current filenames are represented as follows:
xVVddddd
.exe
Programmer Type
u
= UniSite
r
= 2900
s
= 3900
a
= AutoSite or
ProMaster 2500

Keep Current 5
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 are 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, as shown in the following example:
Note: 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 that has been formatted on your programmer, and
then expand the file by running it. The following files should be created:
Label the disk
Keep Current
and specify the version number to avoid
mismatched software version numbers you need 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
Before you use a Keep Current algorithm, determine whether or not it
appears on the programmer’s standard device list and follow the
directions in the appropriate section below.
On Standard List
If the algorithm is listed in the standard device list, in terminal mode use
More Commands / Configure System / Keep Current / Replace-Restore.
This command adds the Keep Current algorithm to the device list,
ensuring that the latest algorithm is available to all programmer users.
Algorithm
Version

Version Compatible?
3.51 3.5 Yes
3.7 3.7 Yes
3.6 3.7 No

From this point forward, the operation is the same as using a regular
algorithm. Refer to your programmer User Manual for instructions.
Not on Standard List
If the algorithm is not listed in the standard device list, in terminal mode
use
Select Device / (1) Keep Current
. The algorithm can be selected from
the Select Device menu, but it cannot be added to the device list.
From this point forward, the operation is the same as using a regular
algorithm. Refer to your programmer User Manual for instructions.
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.
