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
: 5.4)
2. Connect to Keep Current
Using the BBS
Use the following procedure to log on to the Keep Current BBS:
1.
Modem:
Call
206-882-3211
.
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.

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.
