MaxLoader User’s Guide 86 Enabling #4 socket to be master socket If you want to choose the m aster socket in 4 th location in 8 sockets, select the serial number for 4 th socket a mong 8 se quential serial numbers . i.e the 4 th socket serial number is P8-0057.
MaxLoader User’s Guide 87 Enabling any butto n to be a “ S tart Key ” Config Option / Gang Split Select.
MaxLoader User’s Guide 88 All programmers ex cept TopMax and ChipMax must use the Concurrent Gang Mode for multiple socket operations. Split When programming devices for a 16-bit or 32-bit environ ment, you will need to split your data onto two or four devices.
MaxLoader User’s Guide 89 Now, you have two 8-bi t EPROMs that have been p rogrammed. T he first EPROM (#1) contains all the even addr ess or low bytes and the second (#2) device contain s all the odd a ddress or hi gh bytes.
MaxLoader User’s Guide 90 Device Address These addresses will be applied for programming the buffer data. -Chip St art : Device Starting address for the data to be programmed in buffer. -Chip End : Device Ending address for the data to be programm ed in buffer.
MaxLoader User’s Guide 91 -File Offset is s ubtracted from addresses from the file downl oaded t o the programmer. For example, if you set File Off set to 1000h, th en the dow nload ed data minus 1000h would be pl aced into the buffer at the addres s specified by the Buffer Start Address.
MaxLoader User’s Guide 92 Inc Value : This value will be added to th e prev ious data value User must click on Auto Increment to program a mem ory with data increased by one to the previous dat a. Config / Hardware test A hardware te st is designed to assist custom ers in confirmi ng and diagnosi ng problems relating to all programmers.

MaxLoader User’s Guide 94 Enabling any butto n to be a “S tart Key ” The individual socket with a serial nu mber can be executed once the Start button is pressed. After check th e Enab les START ALL button box in Config option, all 8 sockets will b e executed when you click on any of the “START” key in Gang pr ogram.
MaxLoader User’s Guide 95 Wait 10 – 30 seconds for recognizin g a ll sockets and you can see eac h socket’s serial number in GA NG PROGRAM M ODE. There two differe nt features in the ProMax pr ogram mer operati ons. One feature i s that Dat a in buffe r m emory can be simply duplicated into more one socket (dup lication).
MaxLoader User’s Guide 96 How to program (write) one file into different sock ets ? If the target device is 8-bit EPROM such as 2764,128,256,512,101, m ake the Set Program Mode disabled. The Set Program menu button will not be appeared for all other (non-8 bit) device selection.
MaxLoader User’s Guide 97 EXAMPLE 1: PROGRAM 8 OF 271 28 EPROMS WITH SAME DATA: 1. Select the target device (27128) a nd Lo ad a file that should be sam e size as the selected Device size. The target devices coul d be any devices. 2. Click on the “Gang Program Mode” button.
MaxLoader User’s Guide 98 The next diagram illustrates how to travel the same buffer data(0000-3FFF for 27128 sele ction) to t he eight soc kets. Click for operating all sockets at once, concurrent .
MaxLoader User’s Guide 99 How to progr am (write) buffer ( bloc ks) da ta into di fferent sockets ? This option is not availab le for all other devices that are not 8-bit EPROMs. The menu screen below illustrates that th ere is no Set Program b utton because the device selected D A28F320J5 i s not 8-bit EP ROM.
MaxLoader User’s Guide 100 NOTE : Who may need the “set Programming?” A file can be fit in an EPROM and the file size beco mes bigg er than the EPROM, so the large file should be split into mo re than one EPROMs. The ProMax software will split a file up to 8 blocks and program them in different EPROMs.
MaxLoader User’s Guide 101 5. Click a but ton with seri al number or the “START ALL” butt on and a programming steam will be executed . As illustrated in the diagram, data is routed to sock ets in sequential order(the first block of data goes to the first socket, the second block to the second, etc.
