LabProg-48LV
upgrade to LabProg+
Discontinued product and service.
Note:
The LabProg+ programmer is an improved version (both hardware and firmware) of the LabProg-48LV programmer, while the external appearance has remained unchanged. If you are a user of the LabProg-48LV programmer, the following description of the LabProg-48LV to LabProg+ upgrade may be suitable information for you.
There was seems that the LabProg-48LV programmer is little bit slow-speed if works with high-capacity devices, especially with Flash EPROM. Therefore our team of developers tried to increase the speed of LabProg-48LV programming by using faster microcontroller inside the programmer and by adding some smart procedures to avoid "bottle neck" of PC<->programmer communication. The programming times are now from 20% to 70% less, than of previous programmer LabProg-48LV. In case of time-critical Flash EPROMs the programming times are 50% less. Then new one programmer is named LabProg+.
Because differences between LabProg+ and previous LabPro-48LV consist of changes of some parts only, possibility of upgrade LabProg-48LV to LabProg+ is available for mostly of all exiting LabProg-48LV programmers. This LabProg-48LV to LabProg+ upgrade can be performed by Elnec service centers or by skilled user using perfect how-do-it manual.
ATTENTION! LabProg-48LV to LabProg+ upgrade if performed only by Elnec service centers with full warranties. Elnec isn't responsible to misuse of this kit in case self-installation.
