Dataman 48Pro - Manual (Page 16)

Connecting Dataman-48Pro to the
PC
Using LPT port
Turn off your PC and programmer. Install the parallel cable
included with your Dataman-48Pro programmer package to a
free printer port on your PC. Connect the cable to the
programmer and then to the PC. Make sure to tighten the
connectors down with the thumb-screws to their respective
ports. It may be uncomfortable to switch between a printer
cable and programmer cable; however, it is not recommended
to operate the Dataman-48Pro programmer through a printer
switch. However, you can install a second multi-I/O controller
in your computer, thus obtaining a supplementary printer port,
such as LPT2. In this case, your printer may remain on LPT1
while the programmer is on LPT2.
Switch on the PC.
Plug in the power supply and then insert the mini-DIN
connector into the programmer's connector labelled "15VDC".
At this time all 'work result' LEDs (and 'POWER' LED) light up
in succession and then switch off. Once the POWER LED is
illuminated the Dataman-48Pro programmer is ready for use.
Next run the control program for Dataman-48Pro.
Caution! If you don't want to switch off your PC when
connecting the Dataman-48Pro, proceed as follows:
• When connecting the programmer to the PC: FIRST insert
the communications cable and THEN the power-supply
connector.
• When disconnecting the programmer from the PC: FIRST
disconnect the power-supply connector and THEN the
communication cable.
From the programmers’ point of view the connecting and
disconnecting sequence is irrelevant. Protection circuits on all
programmer inputs keep it safe. But for the safety of your PC
we recommend the above sequence.
Using the USB port
In this case, order of connecting USB cable and power supply
to programmer is irrelevant.
