Operation
3-20 AutoSite User Manual
• Each time you remove or replace a programming module, clean the
SPA block with a brush.
• Inspect the SPA block and base adapter for dirt weekly. Follow the
steps below to clean the SPA block.
1. Blow compressed air across the SPA block.
2. Mildly dampen a small section of a lint-free cloth with a DeOxit
pen (Data I/O P/N 570-5500-901) and gently rub the dampened
cloth across all the pins on the SPA block.
3. Using a clean section of the lint-free cloth, gently wipe the surface
again.
4. To ensure that all pins are properly positioned in their
receptacles, push a programming module down on the SPA pins
a few times and check that the pins spring up to their normal
upright position.
Base Cleaning
Weekly inspect the bases for dirt. Clean the surface, including the
underside, with filtered compressed air. Clean with a lint-free cloth
dampened with DeoxIT if needed.
Isolating Programming Problems
If you are experiencing less than optimal yields when programming a
DIP or PLCC device, we suggest that you remove the AutoSite pin driver
head from the handler and try programming the device in the DIP or
PLCC Base.
If the device programs successfully in the Base, there could a problem
with the handler or with the programming module supplied by the
handler manufacturer. Refer to your handler manual for cleaning,
maintenance, and testing information.
If you experience programming problems when programming the device
in the Base, try to isolate the nature of the problem. For example, does the
problem occur during programming or during post-programming
testing? If you are unable to correct the problem yourself, contact
Data I/O Customer Support as listed in the Preface of this manual.
Updating the MSM (Mass Storage Module)
The Mass Storage Module is an internal hard drive that can be installed in
AutoSite. The Mass Storage Module allows you to store system and
algorithm files in the programmer, which can speed up the start-up and
disk access routines.
Installation
The MSM comes installed in all new AutoSites. If your older AutoSite
does not have an MSM installed, you can purchase one for your AutoSite.
Installation instructions are shipped with the Mass Storage Module.

Updating Software
To update AutoSite system software and algorithm files on your MSM,
refer to the User Notes
accompanying the new software.
Booting from MSM
After installing the system software on the MSM, you can boot directly
from the MSM by doing the following:
1. Make sure that drive A is empty.
2. Reboot or powerup AutoSite.
When AutoSite boots up and does not find a disk in drive A, it boots
using the system software located on your MSM.
Storage Capacity
The MSM is partitioned into four logical drives, as follows:
Storage Suggestions
Drives C and D are reserved for user data; drives H and I are reserved for
system use. Although drives H and I can be written to and read from, we
STRONGLY suggest you use only C and D to store your data.
Limitations
Other than the file operations listed below, drives C and D on the MSM
can be used for all file operations that can be done with a floppy drive:
Backing up the MSM
We STRONGLY suggest that you periodically make backup copies of the
files on the C and D partitions of the MSM. If the MSM were to “crash,”
you could restore your data files to C and D from your backups, and you
could restore the system files from the AutoSite disks.
Adding a New Programming Module
To add device support to your AutoSite, simply plug in a new
programming module and you are ready to use the new device support.
To add additional programming capabilities to your AutoSite, simply
purchase a new programming module and insert it in AutoSite. The
“Options” section of Chapter 1 lists the available programming modules.
Drive Storage Max. No. of
Files
Data Type
C 31 MB 512 User Data
D 31 MB 512 User Data
H 7 MB 320 System Data
I 10 MB 320 System Data
File Operation Comments
Format Disk
Format only C and D. Formatting H or I will
render your programmer inoperative until
you restore the system software from floppy.
Duplicate Disk
Drives C, D, H, and I cannot be duplicated
using the Duplicate Disk command.

Self-test
The Self-test command allows you to test circuits and subsystems in
AutoSite, verifying proper operation or isolating possible problem areas.
An automatic self-test is performed each time AutoSite is powered up.
Stopping Self-test
You can stop a self-test anytime during its operation. Press
C
TRL
+
Z
to
stop a self-test.
Running Self-test
To perform a self-test, perform the following steps.
Note: Unless otherwise noted, all references to TaskLink in this manual refer to
the DOS TaskLink product. TaskLink for Windows performs similar
operations using different user interface commands. Refer to the
TaskLink for Windows Getting Started Guide
and online Help for
additional information.
1. Start your terminal emulation software. If you are using TaskLink,
start TaskLink in administrator mode by entering
tl a
at the DOS
prompt. If you are already running TaskLink in operator mode, exit
TaskLink and restart it in administrator mode.
2. If you are using TaskLink, skip to step 8. Otherwise, reboot AutoSite
by cycling power.
3. Wait for AutoSite to complete the powerup self-test. The Self-test
LED goes out when the powerup self-test is complete.
Note: The powerup self-test takes approximately four minutes.
4. When the self-test is complete, you will see either the powerup screen
or a single angle bracket prompt “
>
”. If you see the powerup screen,
go to step 6.
5. Type
Z
↵
to display the powerup screen.
6. AutoSite displays the powerup screen and the following prompt:
Current terminal type = DEC VT100 (ANSI 3.64)
Do you want to select a new terminal type? (Y/N)
If the current terminal type matches the terminal type you are using,
press
N
↵
and go to step 8.
If the current terminal type does not match the terminal type you are
using, press
Y
↵
. AutoSite displays the default and current terminal
types and a list of the available terminal types. Select a terminal type
that matches the terminal you are using and press
↵
.
7. AutoSite responds with the following prompt:
Save terminal type as power on default? (Y/N)
Press
Y
↵
. AutoSite saves your current terminal type as the powerup
default and then displays the Main Menu, which is shown in
Figure 3-15.
