1.Introduction

The gang programmer is a tool designed for programming up to 8,10,12 flash

microcontroller of various manufacture.
It runs in either remote or standalone mode.

In Remote Mode, the gang programmer is connected to a PC through

USB or parallel port with attached cable.
In this mode, the programmer read the Intel .hex or Binary object code format,
and then program to Internal Memory and Master Socket MCU.

In Stand-alone Mode, the microcontroller can be programmed by simple key

operation directly.

Led Status : blanking
Program / Verify / UpLoad Progressing

After Operation Led Status : success (Green) , error (Off).

3-1. Software Installation
In remote mode, the gang programmer is connected to a PC through USB or
parallel port. And the gang programmer includes with CD-ROM that contains
software installation files.
To install this software, follow these steps.

1)Insert the CD-ROM into your computer system.

2)Make folder for these files on your PC. (ex. C:\Gang)
3)Copy all files to above folder.
4)Run “gangwriter.exe”

** MTI-100 Parallel Type Note :

For Windows95/98/Me the execution file will work directly,
however for Windows NT/2000/XP, you have to install
the communication driver file and reboot ,
and then run “gangwriter.exe”.
3-2. Software Operation
1. Inremote mode, you should insert the MCU to master socket or port.
the software operation is explained as follows:
2. To program Master MCU correctly, you should program to internal memory in
advance after load file.

and flash memory.
3. To use the gang programmer for the first time, you should down load to this internal memory first.
4. After down load to this Internal Memory, you should Power off and on.
5. To program Master MCU, you should program Internal Memory in advance after load file.
4. Stand – Alone Mode
In stand-alone mode, you should insert at least 2 pieces MCU including master socket.
the gang programmer operate the program , verify and UpLoad function without PC system.

1)Start Button
Execute the program , verify and upload and so on.
Before press this button, you should verify the selection of menu.

2)Menu Button
This button is used for selection of menu. After this button setting, you must power On/Off.
In order to execute this button, press button at least for 3seconds continuously.
<Menu loop>
1>Pro + Ver : Program and Verify
2>Program : Program
3>Verify : Verify
4>UpLoad : Read back from master MCU to Internal Memory
This is used for loading data from master MCU ROM area and writing to Internal Memory area.
After uploading, please verify the CheckSum value.
Before you use the upload function, you should confirm the MCU Type between LCD display and
master MCU, Otherwise Upload data will be corrupted.
If you have many kind of model for ROM code, you could use this function easily.

*** Note : When you use program for mass production, you must set “Pro + Ver” mode,
otherwise the ROM data could not program because of MCU boot ROM.
5. System Upgrade
System Upgrade will be needed when
the new device release or software
function upgraded.

< Upgrade Method>

1. Connect the USB or parallel cable
between Gang Programmer and PC
system.
2. Power on the gang programmer.
3. Load file1,file2 and file3 at correct
position.
4. Press the System Upgrade button.
5. After System Upgrade, you must
power off/on the gang programmer.

Warning : Don’t mis-load file for file1, file2, file3 .

6.Socket Board
1. Socket Board design will be changed by MCU or flash memory type.
2. Regarding to DSUB Socket Board
<Specification>
- Power supply with DC Jack +5V
- Power supply from DSUB Board’s No.9 pin
