Programmer-To-Go.
Send image to
tool
This check box is selected by default. With the box checked, the PTG image is created and then
sent to the microSDHC card in the connected MPLAB PICkit 4.
Program Device This check box is selected by default. With the box checked, the device connected to the
MPLAB PICkit 4 is programmed.
10.2.7 Secure Segment
Select and load debugger firmware.
Table 10-7. Secure Segment Option Category
Segments to be
Programmed
Select one of the following:
1. Full Chip Programming (default).
2. Boot, Secure and General Segments.

Firmware File Click in the right-hand text box to search for a firmware file (.jam) to
associate with the debugger.
10.2.9 Clock
Set the option to use the fast internal RC (FRC) clock for the selected device.
Table 10-9. Clock Option Category
Use FRC in Debug mode
(dsPIC33F and PIC24F/H devices
only)
When debugging, use the device fast internal RC (FRC) for clocking instead
of the oscillator specified for the application. This is useful when the
application clock is slow.
Checking this check box will let the application run at the slow speed but
debug at the faster FRC speed.
Reprogram after changing this setting.
Note: Peripherals that are not frozen will operate at the FRC speed while
debugging.
10.2.10 Communication
Set the option(s) to use for your device and type of target communication.
Table 10-10. Communication Option Category
Interface Select the interface from the available options.
Speed (MHz) Enter a speed based on the available range for the interface.
