1. Introduction
The FlashPro430 (USB-MSP430-FPA) or TI’s MSP-FET430UIF adapter can be remotely
controlled from other software applications (Visual C++, Visual Basic etc.) via a DLL library. The
Multi-FPA - allows to remotely control simultaneously up to sixteen Flash Programming Adapters
(USB-MSP430-FPAs) significantly reducing programming speed in production. When the MSP-
FET430UIF adapter is used then the only one adapter can be connected.
Figure 1.1 shows the connections between PC and up to sixteen programming adapters. The
FPAs can be connected to PC USB ports directly or via USB-HUB. Direct connection to the PC is
faster but if the PC does not have required number of USB ports, then USB-HUB can be used. The
USB-HUB should be fast, otherwise speed degradation can be noticed. When the USB hub is used,
then the D-Link’s Model No: DUB-H7, P/N BDUBH7..A2 USB 2.0 HUB is recommended.
