GOPEL Electronic updates its FlashFOX programmer

The device features an integrated JAM/STAPL player that conforms to the JESD71 standard, extending FlashFOX's capabilities to perform standardized test and programming operations independently on each channel.

The distance between FlashFOX and connected interface PODs can be as long as 4m, which causes signal delays that have the potential to negatively impact performance. The new ADYCS automation feature provides automatic calculation of and compensation for these delays, ensuring consistent performance for each programmer channel, independent of the distance to the target and even in complex system configurations.

A new Streaming Mode has also been introduced as a supplement to the existing stand-alone mode. The significant difference lies in programming data being pulled dynamically from a central server, instead of using images stored locally in the programmer. This makes it possible to handle dynamically encrypted and target-specific (unique) data, which significantly increases versatility and opens up new use case possibilities.

FlashFOX is the first programmer worldwide with Wi-Fi connectivity – for easy integration into the IoT world and support for flexible Industry 4.0 implementations. The integration of a web server, also a first among programmers, allowing FlashFOX to be easily and securely configured, controlled, and interrogated via any web browser, without the need for additional software.

In addition to the existing 8-channel FlashFOX, a 4-channel version is being introduced. A simple software upgrade converts the 4-channel unit to an 8-channel version. Channel expansion can also be easily done by cascading FlashFOX programmers. This tremendous scalability offers maximum flexibility for every project!
