MultiWriter pps™ Gang Part Programming Overview
The MultiWriter pps™ on-board gang programming system uses proven, patent-pending simultaneous programming™ technology to program up to 24 parts each of up to 16 different types simultaneously—up to 384 chips at one time—typically in seconds instead of the minutes required by conventional programmers.
Compared to other part programming solutions, MultiWriter pps delivers significant speed and cost advantages over conventional in-circuit tester-based programmers when more than four parts already mounted on circuit boards must be programmed in a single pass, making it especially effective for multi-board panels.
MultiWriter pps is optimized for applications requiring programming of at least 4 parts per board or multi-board panel.
Advantages of On-board Part Programming with the MultiWriter pps
- Eliminates the requirement to track different versions of pre-programmed parts, simplifying inventory management and eliminating rework (reprogramming) costs.
- Unique part- and board-specific data may be inserted into the main programming code ‘on-the-fly’ with the main program code, eliminating an additional downstream programming step.
- In medium to high volume production environments on-board programming costs significantly less than offline pre-programming by eliminating the separate chip-handling step and reducing inventory costs. Less handling also means fewer part failures.
