Electronics Training Tools Lab Equipment Manufacturer, Supplier and Exporter in India

Forty-one items are listed here, ETT-0001 to ETT-0041. Despite the category name there are no hand tools in it. What it actually contains is four quite different things: device programmers, which are the bulk of it, integrated circuit testers, programmable-logic trainer kits and embedded trainers. Several items share identical names, and the fuller listings for three of the four groups are elsewhere on this site, so the table below says where to look as well as what is here.

What is actually in this listing

Programmers: the device list, the interface, and nothing else

Fourteen single-socket programmers are listed under names built largely on superlatives, ultra-high, ultra-fast, advanced, handy. None of those is a specification. Send the supplier the list of parts your laboratory actually programmes and ask for written confirmation, part by part, plus:

• How the device library is updated, whether updates are free and for how long. A programmer with a frozen library is obsolete the moment your syllabus adopts a new part, and this matters more than speed.
• Socket pin count and adapters. One code names a 144-pin socket; the others do not say. Ask the pin count and which adapters exist for surface-mount packages, noting that ball-grid-array parts cannot normally be socket-programmed at all.
• In-system programming. Ask whether the unit can programme a device already soldered into a board through a programming header, because that is how current microcontrollers are loaded, and whether the cable is included.
• Standalone or computer-connected, and if a computer is needed, the operating system, the software licence and whether the drivers work on your machines. Note that several codes here are serial-port programmers (ETT-0002, ETT-0004, ETT-0006 and others), and current computers do not have serial ports; those units need a converter that may or may not work with the programming software. Ask before ordering, or choose the universal-serial-bus versions.
• Where speed is claimed, ask for it as a figure against a named device, in seconds for a full programme-and-verify cycle, rather than as an adjective.
• Security and lock bits: whether the unit can set them, since on many devices that is irreversible and worth knowing before a student does it. And whether a copier function reads a protected device, which it should not.

Gang programmers: useful for production, usually wrong for a classroom

Eight codes here are gang programmers, which hold several devices and programme them together. They exist for small-batch production, where the cost per programmed part matters, and they are the one group in this listing with no fuller counterpart elsewhere on the site. Before buying one for a teaching laboratory, be clear that a class does not need one: students programme one device each at their own bench, so one or two single-socket programmers usually serve a laboratory better than one gang unit. A gang programmer earns its place where a department also runs a production or project workshop turning out batches.

If that is your case, ask: how many sockets; whether all sockets programme concurrently or in sequence, which is the difference between a genuine gang programmer and a convenience fixture; whether each socket verifies independently and reports its own pass or fail, so one bad part is identified rather than the whole batch rejected; the throughput for a named device; whether the unit runs standalone from a stored image, which is what makes it usable by a production operator rather than a programmer; and whether sockets can be replaced individually, since they wear out with use.

The other three groups, briefly

Integrated circuit testers (ETT-0026 to ETT-0032). Seven codes including three handheld digital testers, an analogue tester and three universal testers. The important point is what these instruments can and cannot tell you: they test function against a stored library, not data sheet parameters, so a device that passes can still be out of specification, and a re-marked part that happens to pass will read as good. That is set out at length under IC Tester and Digital IC Tester, which also carries the same instruments under another code series; compare the two listings before ordering.

Programmable-logic kits (ETT-0034 to ETT-0038). A field-programmable gate array kit, a complex programmable logic device kit, two kits named after particular device families and a hardware-description-language simulator. For all of these the decisive question is the design software: which tool and which version the device needs, whether that version installs on your laboratory computers, whether the free edition covers the device, and whether a programming cable and its drivers are included. The same question, with the reasons, is under VLSI Design Training Systems. For the simulator, ask what it simulates, which language and version, how many seats and what the licence costs each year.

Embedded trainers (ETT-0039 to ETT-0041). All three carry the same name. Ask what distinguishes them and which is current, then compare against Embedded System Trainers, which lists thirty boards with the processor families named.

Also worth confirming

Quote the code, not the name: ETT-0013 and ETT-0014 carry the same name, ETT-0024 and ETT-0025 carry the same name, ETT-0039 to ETT-0041 all three carry the same name, and two names appear truncated, ETT-0004 ending in "Program" and ETT-0006 in "Serial". Where a code is named after a commercial device family, ask whether the kit is manufactured by Ray Export or supplied as a traded product and who supports it. Ask also for the manual, the supported device list as a document rather than a count, the quantity needed, the supply voltage, frequency and plug type for your country, spare sockets and adapters with prices, and the warranty. For ETT-0018, read the ultraviolet safety requirements before use: the lamp is invisible and gives no warning sensation, the lid interlock must work and must never be defeated, and the unit needs ventilation.

Send your device list and say whether you are equipping benches or a production bay, since that decides single-socket against gang. For example two universal-serial-bus programmers with in-system programming (from ETT-0017 or ETT-0020), with the device list, the update policy and the software licence confirmed in writing.

Frequently asked questions

What is actually in the Electronics Training Tools listing?

Despite the name, there are no hand tools. ETT-0001 to ETT-0041 cover single-socket programmers (ETT-0001 to ETT-0012, ETT-0017, ETT-0019 to ETT-0021), gang programmers (ETT-0013 to ETT-0016, ETT-0022 to ETT-0025), an ultraviolet eraser (ETT-0018), integrated circuit testers (ETT-0026 to ETT-0032), programmable-logic kits and a simulator (ETT-0034 to ETT-0038) and three embedded trainers (ETT-0039 to ETT-0041). ETT-0033 is listed only as Experiments, so ask what it is. For every group except the gang programmers, a fuller listing exists elsewhere on this site, so compare before ordering.

How do I choose between the single-socket programmers?

Ignore the adjectives and send the list of parts your laboratory actually programmes, asking for written confirmation part by part. Then ask how the device library is updated and whether updates are free and for how long; the socket pin count (one code names a 144-pin socket, the others do not) and the adapters for surface-mount packages; whether in-system programming through a header is supported and the cable included; and, where speed is claimed, a figure in seconds for a full programme-and-verify cycle on a named device. Ask too whether the unit can set lock bits, which is often irreversible.

Will a serial-port programmer work with a current computer?

Not directly. Several codes here are serial-port programmers, including ETT-0002, ETT-0004 and ETT-0006, and current computers do not have serial ports. Those units need a converter, which may or may not work with the programming software, so ask before ordering or choose the universal-serial-bus versions - for example ETT-0017 or ETT-0020 with in-system programming. Whichever you choose, ask whether it runs standalone or needs a computer, and if a computer, which operating system, whether the software licence is included and whether the drivers work on your machines.

What should I ask before buying a gang programmer?

First, whether you need one: a class does not, because students programme one device each. If your department also runs a production or project workshop, ask how many sockets there are; whether all sockets programme concurrently or in sequence, which is the difference between a genuine gang programmer and a convenience fixture; whether each socket verifies independently and reports its own pass or fail, so one bad part is identified rather than the whole batch rejected; the throughput for a named device; whether it runs standalone from a stored image; and whether sockets can be replaced individually.

What decides the choice of FPGA or CPLD kit?

The design software. ETT-0034 to ETT-0038 comprise a field-programmable gate array kit, a complex programmable logic device kit, two kits named after particular device families and a hardware-description-language simulator. For each kit, ask which tool and version the device needs, whether that version installs on your laboratory computers, whether the free edition covers the device, and whether a programming cable and its drivers are included. For the simulator, ask what it simulates, which language and version, how many seats, and the licence terms. For kits named after a commercial device family, ask who manufactures and supports them.

Are the IC testers and embedded trainers here the same as in other listings?

Possibly, so compare before ordering. ETT-0026 to ETT-0032 are seven testers - three handheld digital testers, an analogue tester and three universal testers - and the IC Tester and Digital IC Tester listing carries the same instruments under another code series. Remember that they test function against a stored library, not data sheet parameters, so a passing device can still be out of specification and a re-marked part can read as good. ETT-0039 to ETT-0041 share one name; ask what distinguishes them and compare against Embedded System Trainers, which names the processor families.

Key takeaways

• Benches or production bay: that one answer decides single-socket against gang programmer.
• Superlatives are not specifications: ask for written, part-by-part confirmation against your device list.
• Avoid serial-port surprises: ETT-0002, ETT-0004 and ETT-0006 need a converter on current computers; USB versions avoid it.
• Ask for speed as a figure: seconds per full programme-and-verify cycle on a named device, not an adjective.
• Design software decides the logic kits: confirm the tool, version, free-edition coverage and programming cable for ETT-0034 to ETT-0038.
• Quote the code, not the name: several codes share names or are truncated, and ETT-0033 is listed only as Experiments.
