Using FR01LAN Hardware the FlashRunner II provides all of the functionality that is available on the FR01LAN but is tailored to support a single manufacturer.  It must be noted that the FR02 will only ever have the capacity to support devices of the chosen manufacturer.

Hardware Features

FlashRunner features state-of-the-art electronics to provide you with high integration flexibility in a compact footprint.

• 9 to 24V DC power supply input;
• Five digital I/O lines;
• Two digital I/O or analog output lines;
• Two programmable output voltages (0 to 15V, 0.25A and 0 to 5V, 0.5A);
• One analog input line;
• One programmable clock output;
• Secure Digital memory card (up to 2 GB);
• 512 bytes on-board dynamic memory;
• On-board timekeeper and calendar;
• I/O protection;
• Optoisolated inputs for project selection;
• Two optoisolated command inputs (START and STOP);
• Three optoisolated status outputs (FAIL, PASS, BUSY);
• Optoisolated RS-232/Ethernet channel.

FlashRunner's open architecture makes its firmware easily upgradable to support both new devices and 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 or Ethernet connection (Host mode);
• Via "scripts" 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 (FAT16);
• Controllable by any host system through a terminal utility and simple ASCII protocol;
• Unlimited projects (scripts);
• Log files;
• 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.
