Data I/O’s business and programming strategy for managing the firmware supply chain optimizes device programming and minimizes costs. Key to this strategy is the ability to seamlessly transfer algorithms, data files, and programming profiles up and down the supply chain—from an engineer’s desk to algorithm validation, from test to production, from Quality Assurance to Programming Center. Some folks call running the same job on any Data I/O programmer Universal Programming, we call it Connected Strategy. The platform is standard in all our programmers. It is FlashCORE. It is connected.

TaskLink™ software, which comes with all Data I/O programmers, provides programming job profiles (parameters) that can be passed seamlessly from design through NPI to manufacturing to final configuration.

Even our device support is seamless when customers opt for the Annual Programmer Support (APS) agreement, which allows downloading all interim versions of algorithms from the Data I/O Web site. Rather than periodic updates, it’s like a streaming supply of algorithms.

All Data I/O programmers can be connected to a network, making it effortless to manage jobs from a central location, transfer jobs from TaskLink directly to target programmers, and monitor and control intellectual property.
