An EPROM EMULATOR is a unit that replaces the EPROM for the purpose of testing code. The practical application of an EPROM EMULATOR is removing the EPROM from the target controller and installing the EPROM EMULATOR in its place. With the EPROM EMULATOR installed in the controller, the software for the controller is sent from the PC (i.e. XT/AT computer) to the EMULATOR. After the software is downloaded to the EMULATOR, the controller is controlled by the software in the EMULATOR.

The major advantage the EMULATOR has over an EPROM is, the EPROM has to be erased before it is used. For example, with the EPROM only method, you program the EPROM. Install the EPROM in the controller, test the code. To make any changes in the code, you remove the EPROM, erase it, program it, and re-install it in the controller. Using an EMULATOR. You plug the EMULATOR in the EPROM SOCKET AND DOWNLOAD THE CODE. Takes about 11 seconds for 8K. THAT'S IT! NO UNPLUGGING ANYTHING!. The RESET clip attached to the EMULAOR automatically RESETS the controller after each download of software. The EMULATOR gets it power from the EPROM SOCKET and draws only 100ma. of current.
