UNIPro

Q1. While programming IC AT89C51 using UNIPro10u the IC doesn't work, but the same IC on a different programmer with same program works O.K.
A1. The above mistake normally arises due to wrong format selection.
Go to LOAD icon, select file name & click open, "LOAD A FILE TO BUFFER" & if the file is a Hex file, select INTEL Hex format. The new UNIPro software version [3.87 & later] has auto file detection which identifies the type of the source file selected.
Q2. How do I load a program HEX file & EEPROM data file in a single file, I am using AVR IC’s
A2. First select LOAD option, select the program HEX file to load it “To buffer, Address [hex] & select O.K., then again select LOAD option select DATA file click OPEN & then select “To buffer Address “ XXXXX from where you want to store EEPROM DATA file.
Q3. I have a master IC PIC16F877 [from which I have to read the contents & store in a new IC]. My problem is when I read & program in a new IC the new programmed IC does not function as per the Old one.
A3. IC PIC 16F877 has many config settings which also has to be read while reading, so before reading from chip please select the “Prog Config” option in Edit Auto menu, press read & then program the same in a new IC. The new IC programmed will have the same config settings as per the master IC.
Q4. I need to find out the device support of all IC programmers?
A4. Device supported by each model is listed on our webpage, however if you need to see the exact updated list till date, please download the UNIPro IC Search Utility software latest version from our webpage & view the programmer supported by the device you enter.
Q5. Do I need to set the device settings of PIC microcontroller every time I load a program hex file?

A5. No, If you have finalized your codes, it is suggested that you save your settings by clicking on settings menu & next saving the same in “save project”. The project settings will save all the settings of the device as well as of the programmer. But please note if you update your UNIPro software version, please make a new project file using newly downloaded software.

Q6. I have an external USB Expander [4 in, 1 out], connected to UNIPro 11u Programmer but every time I change input port it gives error.
