Once
you
have
reached
the
Keep

Library,
select
the
correct
algorithm.
Algorithms
are
arranged
by
programmer
and

version.
Keep

are
represented
as

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.

Algorithm
Algorithms
come

file
format.
Place
the
Keep

on
a
floppy

and
then
expand
the
file
by
running
it.
The

and
add
the

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

and
select

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.

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.
