When used with the appropriate adapter, the MPU automatically tests for
continuity between the device leads and the programming socket before
programming. It can also apply test vectors to functionally test and verify
programmed Altera devices. Test vectors can be created in waveform or
text format in the MAX+PLUS II Waveform Editor or Text Editor and
applied to the device; results can be viewed in waveform or text format.
The MPU is available as part of the PL-ASAP2 or individually.

Programming Adapters
Altera provides three types of programming adapters for Altera devices:
PLM-prefix adapters, PLE-prefix adapters, and the PLAD3-12
compatibility adapter. Each adapter contains one of the following sockets:
a zero-insertion-force (ZIF) dual in-line package (DIP), plastic or ceramic
J-lead (PLCC/JLCC), pin-grid array (PGA), small-outline integrated
circuit (SOIC), or quad flat pack (QFP). Most adapters for QFP devices
with 100 or more pins support Altera’s QFP carriers. Adapters with an
“NC” suffix program QFP devices that are not in a QFP carrier.
For more information, see the QFP Carrier & Development Socket Data Sheet.
Table 2 lists the adapters required for each Altera device and package
option. These adapters are supported by both the PL-APU and PL-ASAP2
programmers.
