New software - Version 2.83

[Dataman (Daniel Smith)]

Dear Dataman users,

New software has just been posted on our software pages for the Dataman 848Pro2 super fast stand-alone gang programmer.

Version 2.83 features the following amendments:

New Device Support
Many new devices have been added in this revision, please download the full device list to verify your chip is supported: Dataman848Pro2DeviceList.pdf

Major Changes
Improved features of "Protected mode" of PG4UW, now distinguishes between:
"Multi operation" mode - classic protected mode, represents basic form of protected mode, where all available device operations (blank, verify, program, erase) are enabled, except read.
"One operation" mode - represents enhanced form of protected mode, where only one operation from all available is enabled. Provides better certainty, because prevents operator from executing wrong type of device operation.
Improved features of "Multi-project" of PG4UW and PG4UWMC, now supports also running any sequence of master operations (Blank check, Verify, Program, Erase) with devices, depending on sub-projects contained in mentioned multi-project. Suitable for example for testing purposes or for programming flow customization.
In Pg4uwMC added option to automatically start control programs for programmer Site-s during start of Pg4uwMC. Function is available by command line parameter /autoconnectsites or by option "Auto-connect Sites" from dialog "Settings" in Pg4uwMC
In Pg4uwMC added option to see software Site number association with real Programmer Sites. Function is available via dialog "Show real Site location by LED" accessible by menu "Programmer | "Show real Site location by LED..."
In Pg4uwMC dialog "Search programmer" are displayed Site numbers in style of #1..#4, #5..#8, etc. for multi-programmers
In Pg4uwMC is added option to close program without saving current configuration. This can be done by menu "File | Exit without save..." or by key Alt+Q shortcut
Fixed shortcut associated to Program operation (F9) for projects with predefined allowed operation Program
