Introduction
Product Description
What Is the
ProMaster 2500?
The Data I/O ProMaster™ 2500 is an automated, integrated circuit (IC)
handler/programmer system. It transports, programs, tests, and labels
devices and then sorts them in standard IC tubes. The system supports
programmable integrated circuit (PIC) devices in a variety of package
types, including dual in-line packages (DIP), plastic leaded chip carriers
(PLCC), and small outline integrated circuits (SOIC).
Introduction
1-2 3/97 ProMaster 2500 User Manual
The system is composed of two major parts:
1. ProMaster 2500 handler with programming electronics
2. TaskLink software operating on a personal computer (PC)
2500 Handler
The 2500 handler is the hardware portion of the system. System firmware
controls the transportation, programming, and labeling of a wide variety
of IC device styles and packages. The system is designed to allow for easy
conversion between IC package types without the use of tools or time-
consuming adjustments. A single, state-of-the-art pick- and-place beam
transports devices for programming and labeling. The system is designed
to minimize lead damage while producing reliable device throughput.
TaskLink Software
TaskLink™ Universal Production Automation Software is the primary
user interface controlling the operation of the 2500. The system
administrator selects the configuration parameters necessary to perform a
programming/labeling job and saves these together as a Task. The
system operator simply selects this Task from a list on the opening screen.
The 2500 is configured, data files are transferred, and devices are
programmed, verified, and labeled in a single, automated operation.
TaskLink supports a variety of Data I/O programming products. Some of
the commands and options displayed on TaskLink’s menus are intended
to be used with other products and not in the operating environment of
the 2500. Information on these commands is available by pressing
F1
to
invoke TaskLink’s online Help.
