Keep-Current service

Why is it important to use the latest version of control program for your programmer?

  1. Semiconductor manufacturers are every moment introducing into the market new devices with new package types, manufactured by new technologies to support the need for flexibility, quality and speed in product design and manufacturing. Within a year we implement into the control program support of more than 1000 new devices.
  2. A typical programmable device undergoes several changes during it's lifetime in an effort to maintain or improve device characteristics and process yields. This changes often has effect programming algorithms change (programming algorithm is set of instructions that tells the programmer how to program data into a particular type of device). Using the newest algorithm in programming process is key to obtaining quality result. In many cases, while the older algorithm will program the device, it may not provide the level of data retention that would be possible with an optimal algorithm. Failure to use the most current algorithm can decrease your programming yields (it increase count of bad programmed devices), often increase programming times, or even affect the long term reliability of the programmed device.
Our commitment is to implement of support for these new or modified parts before or as soon as possible after its distribution, so you can be sure you are using latest programming algorithms that were specifically created for this device.

Keep-Current is a subscription service, with which your ELNEC programmer and documentation is up-to-date with the latest device support and control program's features.

ELNEC ships of a latest version of programmer software and and updated user documentation (Keep-Current package). A Keep-Current service is your hassle-free guarantee that you are doing the highest quality programming on ELNEC programmers, at minimal cost.

Keep-Current package can be mailed to you two ways:
  • by standard post
  • or by e-mail
According to yours needs you may choose too three levels of Keep-Current service:
  • QUICK. Keep-Current package is mailed to you immediately after each relevant change of software or documentation, approximately monthly. This service is paid (see price list, please) and it is available only by e-mail.
  • STANDARD. Keep-Current package is mailed to you quarterly. This service is paid (see price list, please) and it is available by post and by e-mail.
  • 1/Y. Keep-Current package is mailed to you once per year (during January of each year). This service is available only by e-mail and its free - but a registration is required.
Keep-Current package (file KC_ARC.EXE) contain:
  • latest version of control program (PG4UWarc.EXE version: 2.53, download it)
  • device list (files xxxxxDEV.txt)
  • description of added/removed device and/or modified algorithms (file PG4DREV.txt)
  • description of added and/or modified features of control program (file PG4WPREV.txt)
  • latest information about ELNEC products (file with News)
