5.Usage in Standalone Mode
The FP6 has a standalone mode in which the FP6 by itself can execute the [Erase], [Program], and [Start]
commands without a host PC. This mode is useful for using the FP6 on the production line during mass
production and for upgrading in the field.
• Standard mode
Various functions on the LCD menu can be executed by operating buttons on the main unit or inputting
the remote interface signal (NEXT, ENTER, CANCEL, START, VERIFY, or CLEAR).
• Simple mode
This mode allows changing the active programming areas by the NEXT button. In this mode, the
functions on the LCD menu cannot be executed unlike in the standard mode. Table 5.1 shows
assignments of remote interface signals in simple mode.
