Prog-Express is a modern and intuitive control software for the Batronix USB programming devices free of charge. Programming a chip from a file or copying an existing chip is done by just a few mouse-clicks thanks to pre-set process steps. Despite the easy to use interface, professional protection, split, auto-identify, auto-start and serial-number functions and a convenient hex-editor are available in addition to the basic functions like read, program, compare and erase.
In production mode, up to 8 programming devices can be controlled simultaneously and individually allowing a very high level of productivity. The programming speed for each individual programming device is at almost the same level as using only one single device.
The software, all updates and future versions are freeware. The current version can be downloaded from www.batronix.com at any time and can be used without any activation key. Hence the devices will still be equipped with the latest technical standard, even after several years of usage. Support for further chips is added quickly and free of charge based on customer requests, as long as these chips are supported by the hardware.
When using Prog-Express for programming your chips, you are working with modern software enjoying a high level of support through the development division of Batronix.

Prog-Express is optimally suited for series production and enables you to create an effective production environment from individual devices.
A programming cluster consists of a PC with installed Prog-Express and up to eight connected USB programming devices such as the BX32 Batupo, BX32P Barlino, BX40 Bagero or the universal programming device BX48 Batego. You can mix the models as you like because Prog-Express supports all available Batronix USB programmers.
A programming cluster is a common solution for setting up an initial series production, since a cluster of two or more devices is created very quickly and poses no risks due to its maximum flexibility. Should your series production requirements increase, you can react at any time by adding further devices to the programming cluster.
We are very proud of the amazing language support of Prog-Express. At present, the software and manuals are available in over 22 languages and the translation count is still growing!
Use Prog-Express in your native language. Currently we support: Arabic, Bulgarian, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional (software only), Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Polish (software only), Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish
