The B+K Precision model 869 Stand Alone Programmer was designed to operate by itself to perform functions such as Copy, Edit Buffer, Read, Blank check, Erase and Test of some standard chips. It comes with an internal CPU, 7 key keypad, 16x2 LCD display, and flash memory for programming data and algorithms. Standard data buffer size is 4 Mbits. Programming algorithms can be downloaded from the PC host via printer port, which will stay inside the memory until reflashed. Flash memory can store more than 30 algorithms at one time. The application is ideal for volume programming or field service operations. The unit can also operate as a PC programmer. Connected to a Parallel port is provides full programming features such as Program, Read, Verify, Blank Check, Buffer Edit, Vector test, etc. Stream lined file and buffer data management, chip selection and other features are provided as a standard. Programming algorithms for more than 3,000 devices are provided.
