| The Softlog SEC-DS Secure Programming Upgrade is a "Secure Programming" extension for the ICP2 and ICP2(HC) programmers that provides several layers of protection--utilizing breakthrough technology--dramatically reducing the risk of unauthorized reconstruction of hex data and limiting how many times a hex file can be programmed. Secure programming operates on two levels: the ADMIN level and the USER level. |
| The Softlog SEC4CH-DS Secure Programming Upgrade is a "Secure Programming" extension for the ICP2GANG programmer that provides several layers of protection--utilizing breakthrough technology--dramatically reducing the risk of unauthorized reconstruction of hex data and also limiting how many times a hex file can be programmed. Secure programming operates on two levels: the ADMIN level and the USER level. |
