Stag Quasar PC universal programmer model 1040 / 1084 resources page

 

 

 

1. Set up your programming instrument as follows:

a. Connect power cable to the Quasar programming instrument.
b. Connect supplied interface cable between instrument to parallel
printer port 1, 2 or 3 on your IBM PC/XT/AT/PS2/386/486/LAPTOP
computer.
c. Power up the programmer.
d. The programmer type will now be displayed in the lower left of the
PC screen. This will indicate correct communication between the PC
and the programmer.
e. If the programmer fails to communicate, use the CONFIG option to
select the PC port Quasar is connected to.

You can find more details about installation and set up procedures
in the "Quasar User's Manual".

The PCBs from the STAG QUASAR are identical to those
in Advin Corp's "Pilot-U40" programmer. This appears to be another case of rebranding design. The software is also basically the same but with
"Advin" search and replaced to "Stag"!The "Pilot-U28" unit which appears mostly identical to U40; it has
42 pin drivers just like that machine, but seems to be crippled by some PALs to only support 28 pin chips.




tried the s/w from Advin , I can recommend it for those like me wanting to use the Quasar from Stag . it works on laptop running Win XP SP3 and it installs and runs without problems . The s/w seems to have all the device types built-in as there is no .DAT file as there is with something like the pp39/41 , never the less it seems to have a vast array of device types in its data base .
Both versions of the s/w seem to be just right , Advin-Captain-NT-XP-v1.78 and a slightly newer version Advin-Captain-XP-NT-v2.07D.

It is nothing like the s/w supplied with the Quasar which was definitely a DOS program from the look and feel .

The Quasar 1040 is a badge-engineered version of the Advin Pilot U40. I just found out that Advin still exists and on their software download page is 32 bit Windows software for the Stag Quasar 1040 and 1080
