The FlashRunner III is the entry level model from the FlashRunner range and like FlashRunner II is tailored to support devices of a single chosen manufacturer.  Although the same high speed capacity associated with all of the FlashRunner range is present certain functionality is absent.

Hardware Features

FlashRunner features state-of-the-art electronics and provides you with high integration flexibility in a small footprint.

• 7.5V DC power supply input;
• Five digital I/O lines;
• Two digital I/O or analog output lines;
• One programmable output voltage (0 to 5.5V, 0.5A);
• One programmable clock output;
• Secure Digital memory card (up to 2 GB);
• I/O protection;
• One command inputs (START);
• Three status outputs (FAIL, PASS, BUSY);
• RS-232 channel.

FlashRunner's open architecture makes its firmware easily upgradable to support new features.

Software Features

FlashRunner is set up and controlled via ASCII-based commands. FlashRunner can receive and execute commands in two ways:

• Over the RS-232 (Host mode);
• Via a "script" stored in its SD card (Standalone mode).

In the first case, FlashRunner is controlled by a host system (e.g. Windows HyperTerminal); in the latter case, FlashRunner works in standalone mode and is fully autonomous.

• Fully autonomous standalone mode (thanks to its SD memory card);
• Controllable by any host system through a terminal utility and simple ASCII protocol;
• Erase, blank check, program, read, verify, oscillator trimming, etc.

FlashRunner comes with a Windows utility that allows you to communicate with the instrument and perform the most common operations: send commands, manage SD card files, update the instrument's firmware, etc.
