Processing Devices in the Single Programming Mode
In the diagram below, the programmer in use is a Quad, with four TOPs installed:
A Quad programmer with two TOP48s, a TOP432, and a TOP84PLC installed
A Multisyte programmer (Dual, Quad, or Octal) is quite flexible as it allows several
different styles of TOPs to be installed simultaneously. While different TOPs styles
cannot be used simultaneously to program different devices, each TOP can, however,
be selected directly from the user interface when a different device style is required.
In the above configuration two TOP48s, a TOP432, and a TOP84PLC are installed.
The TOP48 on Site #1 (left-most site) is selected, and the programmer is set to
operate in Single mode. As it is currently configured, the programmer will process
devices one at a time on the selected TOP. If you require the use of the another TOP,

simply select the TOP on Site #2, #3 or #4 by clicking its icon with the mouse cursor.
The newly selected site will be highlighted, indicating that it is the active site.
Note: If the programmer has different styles of TOPs installed,
selecting a site with a different style of TOP will prompt you
to select a new device. This is normal, as the software must
set up the programmer to process the different style of
device.

Processing Devices in the Gang Programming Mode
Programming one device at a time can be time consuming. To expedite programming
devices, gang programming can be used with the Multisyte line of programmers
(Dual, Quad, and Octal):
A Quad programmer with four TOP48s installed
Here a Multisyte Quad is set to operate in gang mode. All four identical TOPs are
highlighted, indicating that they can be used simultaneously to program devices. It is
not necessary that all TOPs on the programmer are identical, but you do need at least
two identical TOPs for gang programming.
