Program Options

Choose to erase all memory before programming or to merge code.

Table: Program Options Option Category

Erase All Before
Program

Check to erase all memory before programming begins.

Unless programming new or already erased devices, it is important to have this box checked. If not checked, the device is not erased and program code will be merged with the code already in the device.

Enable Low-Voltage Programming

For Programmer Settings only, PIC12F/16F1xxx devices:

For the LVP configuration bit set to “Low-voltage programming enabled”, you may program in either high-voltage (default) or low-voltage (enabled here.)

For the LVP configuration bit set to “High-voltage on MCLR/Vpp must be used for programming”. You may only program using high-voltage.

Programming Method

Select either Apply Vdd before Vpp (default) or Apply Vpp before Vdd.

LED Brightness Setting

Select the level of brightness from 1 (darkest) to 10 (brightest).

PGC Configuration

Select either none, pull up or pull down. The default is pull down.

PGC resistor value (Kohms)

Type in a resistor value from 0-50.The default value is 4.7 Kohms.

PGD Configuration

Select either none, pull up or pull down. The default is pull down.

PGD resistor value (Kohms)

Type in a resistor value from 0-50.The default value is 4.7 Kohms.

Program Speed

Select either Low, Normal or High. The default is Normal.
