Be aware that the 45C951 universal programmer is different from the 45C950 standard programmer, which is slightly more limited in its functions. If interested, you can find the 45C950 standard programmer by following the link above.
The 45C951 universal programmer is equipped with the ability to let application programs be inputted into the processor module’s memory, printed out on a printer that is connected to the RS-232C connector, and stored onto a cassette tape that is connected via the cassette tape recorder terminals. The 45C951 universal programmer is also equipped with an EPROM burner.
On the 45C951 universal programmer’s faceplate, you will find many different components. At the top right, there is the LCD display with the keypad below it. They keypad has operation keys, numeric keys, and command keys. To the left, there are the cassette tape recorder terminals. These terminals are labeled with “MIC” and “EAR.” Above these terminals, there is the mode selector switch which has three positions: programming, test, and run. Finally, there are two different connectors at the top of the 45C951 universal programmer: the RS-232C connector and memory pack connector.
To install the 45C951 universal programmer, connect it with the faceplate connector on the processor using a sixteen pin ribbon cable. You can also use an optional mounting bracket or expansion cable with this device.
