1.2.4
Communication Error Message
Communication error may occur if the PC failed to communicate with the programmer.
Please check the setup again and see to it that there is no device inserted in the
programmer socket.
Sometimes, the error message occurs when the programmer hardware is defective. If the
problem persists please contact factory for support.
1.2.5
Device Insertion
For chips in DIP package
Follow the reference diagram next to the socket. Chips are always inserted at the bottom
line of the ZIF socket with the pin 1 facing toward upper left corner. For some low-end
models, some devices may need to be inserted in a non-standard way. Instruction for
insertion of such devices will appear on the screen when the selection of the device is
made.
For chips in None-DIP packages
Socket adapters are available for PLCC, QFP, TSOP, PSOP, SSOP, SOIC, SDIP, BGA
etc. packages. All adapters with 48 pins or less are constructed with top and bottom pins
connected 1 to 1.
1) Adapters with 48 pins or less on SuperproIII
Socket adapters are inserted in the same way as DIP packaged devices, which is at the
bottom of the 48 pin DIP ZIF socket. Chip insertion instruction onto the adapter is
displayed when the device is selected on the screen. Be sure to insert chips in correct
orientation.
2) Chips with more than 48 pins on SuperproIII
Optional 100 pin expansion adapter, PEP100, is necessary to program larger devices.

2.1.1 Load <Ctrl-O>
Files are loaded into one of two buffer types, HEX/ASCII buffer for EPROMs and
Microcontrollers (MCU) and Logic buffer for PLD/PALs, which requires .JED type file.
For EPROMs and MCUs, data types supported are Binary (also .POF), Intel HEX (also
extended HEX), Motorola S record, and Tektronix HEX types. Select the appropriate type
for the data file.
To select a data file to be loaded, the path and the file name should be entered into the
name field. If the full path or the exact name of the file is unknown, then a partial path
may be entered using wild cards, e.g. ‘*.*’ or ‘*.BIN’.
Some files have non-zero file start or file offset address. This should be entered in the
file start address for proper data loading. Incorrect file offset address will cause FFs to
be stored in the beginning part of the buffer. Incorrect large offset address may cause data
overflow in the buffer and system failure.
For PLD/PAL devices the Load JED File dialogue box will pop up to enter the file
name.

Figure 15. Run
Program
The function writes the data from the buffer into the chip. The Verify function is
performed automatically after programming. If an error occurs, the error message will be
displayed along with the addresses and data of the chip and buffer where the error
occurred. Any other result will be displayed in the message section. The current address
is incremented in the Current Address display window while the chip is being
programmed or verified.
Read
The function reads the content of the chip into the buffer. After reading is complete,
checksum of the data will be displayed at the lower-left corner of the screen. If the chip
selected is either a PLD or GAL, blow count will be shown instead of the checksum.
When a GAL is programmed, the sub-device should be specified correctly.
For PROM or MCU devices, the data between the chip start address and end address will
be read into the buffer.
If the chip is protected or secured, data read will be incorrect or shown as blank.
Verify
The function compares the content of the buffer to that of the chip. If there is any
discrepancy, verify failure message and the address where it started failing will be
displayed in the Message window. For PROM or MCU devices, verification of range
between start and end addresses (specified by you) is available.
Blank Check
The function checks if the device is in blank state. For a ROM or MCU, checking of a
range between a start and end address (specified by you) is possible.
Data Compare
The function compares Buffer and Chip contents and for any discrepancy it finds data
table is generated and store in the BIN directory in the name of the device.cmp. For
example, if the device is AMD 27256, the file name will be 27256.CMP.
Auto
The function executes series of operations in sequence, which should help with repeat
operation. Blank check, Program, and Verify could be included in the function. List of
the functions may be put together using the Edit Auto menu.
For GAL devices it executes the Erase function at the beginning and sets the security bits
at the end.
Security
The function applies to PLDs and MCUs equipped with security function. If the security
is set, the data programmed into a chip will not be read correctly.
Note: Lock and Protect are also names used for the same purpose.
Encryption
The function applies only to some MCU chips with the feature. This will program the
content of the encryption table onto the encryption array of the chip. The content of the
encryption table can be loaded, edited and saved. Once encryption is completed, the data
in the main buffer will be the Exclusive-NORed data with the encryption table.
Message
Result of the operation and any error message is displayed in the message area.
Environment
It displays the selected manufacturer (MFR), device name (Device), checksum
(Checksum) for HEX files, and blow count (Blow Count) for JED file, etc.
Chip Start
Input an address of the chip where you would like a selected function of downloading or
uploading to start. This is normally set to zero.
Chip End
Input an address for the chip where you would like a selected function of downloading or
uploading to end. This is normally set to the end address of the chip.
Buff Start
This sets the address in the buffer where file loading begins. By changing the address, a
file can be loaded at any desired location.
Buff End
This sets address in the buffer where file loading ends. By changing the address, a file
can end loading at any desired location.
Note: Chip Start, Chip End, Buff Start, and Buff End, are used in multiple file
loading and offset programming. Multiple loading allows the buffer to be filled with
different files at different location. Offset programming allow the chip start address toi
be other than at zero.
2.3.2 EditAuto
Functions included in the Auto menu may be edited using the EditAuto menu. In the
Edit-Auto dialog box double click on the functions listed in the left column to be
