Description
PICkit 3 Programming Speed
Programming speed slider would be enabled only if an enhanced mid-range devices (PIC16F family) is connected.
Use the slider to adjust the programming speed (see Figure: PICkit 3 Programming Speed Option). This option can be used to help troubleshoot problems by slowing the speed to allow sufficient time for signal levels. The PICkit 3 slider will slow down ICSP programming which may help communication problems created by heavy loading on the ICSP lines. It is suggested that these lines are clear of any components. The programming speed control may help to program boards that already have existing components on these lines.
PICkit 3 Programmer To Go
Opens the PICkit 3 Programmer To Go dialog (see Figure: Logout) showing the settings that will be applied the next time the Programmer-To-Go feature is used. Enter an Image Name that will be used for the image on the PICkit 3. Click Programmer To Go to activate. Refer to the PICkit 3 In-Circuit Debugger/Programmer User’s Guide, DS52116, for information on the Programmer-To-Go feature. This feature may not be supported on all devices.
Note: Programmer To Go does not support the Preserve Memories options.
Special Memory Regions
Program Calibration Memory
Enables programming of registers used to hold calibration values for a device.
Program/Read User OTP
Enables programming or reading of a serial user ID that is OTP (one time programmable). Once programmed, it cannot be changed.
Secure Segments
Segments to Program
Available only for devices with CodeGuard, e.g., dsPIC33FJ12GP202, etc. Supported by REAL ICE, MPLAB ICD 3 and PICkit 3.
Select the segments to program:
•
Full Chip Programming
•
Boot, Secure and General Segments
•
Secure and General Segments
•
General Segment Only
SQTP
Disable operations if SQTP values are exhausted
Selecting the check box prohibits further programming if all SQTP values from the specified .num file have been exhausted.
Display the next SQTP sequence in the output window
Select this check box to display the next SQTP sequence in the output window.
Programming Method
This option allows you to choose the Test mode entry method for devices. This feature is supported by the tools which can power the target (except for PM3).This setting refers to the order in which the Vpp and Vdd voltages will be applied when programming/reading the target device.
Apply Vpp before Vdd
(Recommended)
This is the default setting.
Apply Vdd before Vpp
Caution is recommended when using this setting as it may have adverse side effects. This option is available only when powering the device from the debug tool.
