  1. Stand-alone operation:
    • Repeat programming and verification is performed without a PC attached. The programmer is completely self-contained with add-on memory (option), keyboard, and LCD display for volume production operation.
    • Does not require an operator who has to have knowledge of operating a PC thus saving on the cost of the operator.
    • Saves cost of a PC.
    • Data integrity is insured, as there is no chance that an operator may corrupt data in the PC.
    • Data security is insured, as the plug-in compact flash card may be removed and stored away at end of each day.
    • Seamless transition from engineering to production is ensured, as the project file is generated in engineering, downloaded onto a compact flash card and transferred to manufacturing.
    • Compact Flash card (512MB) needed for Stand-alone mode operation.
  2. Xeltek gives you the largest device support number for universal device programmer industry. Hundreds of new devices are being added to programmers’ lists every other day
  3. Availability of large number of socket adapters enables more different package types to be supported. Xeltek makes substantial investment in the development and manufacturing of new socket adapters.
  4. Including the price, Xeltek offers to add devices upon customer’s request. There is a 2 to 4 weeks round time to implement such requests.
