This link provided by Uta Kappler is for a similar device.

It refers to a " high speed programming device". Also, speed is more often used in connection with technology performance would you not say? E.g high-speed Internet rather than high-performance Internet.

I just Googled Programmierausbeute.
I don't think it means speed - it means how much return you get on the work you do.

That is the exact text Philgoddard! How did you find it??

Here is more context. The fact that " geshcwindigkeit" is the next heading would support my " speed" idea.

" Diese Vorgehensweise ist besonders nützlich beim Handling von SMT- bzw.
Miniatur-Bauteilen die entsprechend kleine Adapter mit winzigem
Kontaktabstand benötigen. Die Programmierausbeute wird ganz bestimmt
merklich gesteigert.

Geschwindigkeit
LabTool-48 besitzt enorme Programmiergeschwindigkeiten, da er nicht über
den seriellen COM-Port, sondern über den parallelen LPT-Drucker-Port des
PC angesteuert wird. Dabei sendet der PC die zu programmierenden Daten
blockweise zum Gerät und LabTool's eingebaute Intelligenz programmiert
sodann die Daten mit höchster Effiziens und unter Beachtung der von den
Bauteilherstellern vorgegebenen Programmieralgorithmen"

What about " porgramming speed" ? The unit of yield in this case is time taken to achieve result, i.e speed. Maybe that would be technically more accurate?

Thank you very much. I also found " Yield" on Leo but rather than just sticking two words together I wanted to make sure that the meaning is what is appears to be. That link is also very useful Uta, thanks.
