Overview
FlashRunner Quattro is a high-integration
in-system gang programmer, based on the FlashRunner
patented technology. FlashRunner Quattro is
designed for programming multi-PCB panel assemblies,
and is based on the FlashRunner technology.
This means:
- Extremely fast programming (it is one of
the fastest in-system programming system on
the market);
- Standalone operations (projects and code
images stored on memory cards);
- Compact and robust design for production
environments.
FlashRunner Quattro is composed of a mainboard
which hosts the programming and demultiplexing
modules, plus various connectors used to interface
to the target system and host/ATE.
Available Models
FlashRunner Quattro is available in three
different models, to best suit different gang
programming needs.
| FR04A04 |
4
ISP channels system (4 true parallel channels),
no ISP channel demultiplexing |
| FR04A08 |
8
ISP channels system (4 parallel channels,
each demultiplexable to 2 channels, with
galvanic isolation) |
| FR04A16 |
16
ISP channels system (4 parallel channels,
each demultiplexable to 4 channels) |
Hardware Features
FlashRunner features state-of-the-art electronics
to provide you with high integration flexibility
in a compact footprint.
- 9 to 18V DC power supply input;
- Six digital I/O lines;
- Two digital I/O or analog output lines;
- Two programmable output voltages;
- One programmable clock output;
- Secure Digital memory cards (up to 2 GB);
- 512 bytes on-board dynamic memory;
- On-board timekeeper and calendar;
- Optoisolated inputs for project selection;
- Two optoisolated command inputs (START and
STOP);
- Three optoisolated status outputs (FAIL,
PASS, BUSY);
- Optoisolated RS-232/Ethernet channel.
FlashRunner's open architecture makes its
firmware easily upgradable to support both new
devices and new features.
Software Features
FlashRunner Control Panel
FlashRunner is set up and controlled via ASCII-based
commands. FlashRunner can receive and execute
commands in two ways:
- Over the RS-232 or Ethernet connection
(Host mode);
- Via "scripts" stored in its SD
card (Standalone mode).
In the first case, FlashRunner is controlled
by a host system (e.g. Windows HyperTerminal);
in the latter case, FlashRunner works in standalone
mode and is fully autonomous.
- Fully autonomous standalone mode thanks
to its SD memory cards (FAT16);
- Controllable by any host system through
a terminal utility and simple ASCII protocol;
- Unlimited projects (scripts);
- Interface Library DLL to control the instrument
from within user written applications;
- Optional Data Protection System to make
the contents of the binary file to be programmed
to the target device not readable (and not
duplicable) by non-authorized people;
- Log files;
- Erase, blank check, program, read, verify,
oscillator trimming, etc.
FlashRunner comes with a Windows utility that
allows you to communicate with the instrument
and perform the most common operations: send
commands, manage SD card files, update the instrument's
firmware, etc.
