Do ICP family programmers operate in fully standalone mode (without PC)?
Answer
Yes, all ICP family programmers can operate in a fully standalone mode. The programming environment (algorithm, HEX file, settings, etc.) is transferred as a PJ2 file from the PC to the ICP’s non-volatile memory. Once transferred, standalone programming is performed using the GO, PASS, and FAIL pins.
Additionally, the ICP2-COMBO(G3), ICP2-ISO(G3), and ICP2-LAN(G3) models include three hardware lines for environment selection.
Furthermore, the high-level RS-232 communication interface allows flexible operation without a PC.
