1.6.1 Menu Bar
The menu bar selects various functions of the PICkit™ 2 Programming Software.
A summary of the functions are:
FILE
•Import File
– Import a hex file for programming
• Export File
– Export a hex file read from a device
•Exit
– Exit the program (duplicated with the Quit button)
DEVICE FAMILY
• Baseline (12-bit Core)
– Configures the programming software for baseline Flash
devices
• Mid-range (14-bit Core)
– Configure the programming software for mid-range
Flash devices
•PIC18
– Configures the programming software for PIC18F Flash devices (future
feature, presently grayed out)
•PIC18J
– Configures the programming software for PIC18FXXJXX Flash devices
(future feature, presently grayed out)
•dsPIC
®
DSC – Configures the programming software for dsPIC DSC Flash
devices (future feature, presently grayed out)
PROGRAMMER
• Read Device
– Reads program memory, data EEPROM memory, ID locations,
and Configuration bits.
• Write Device
– Writes program memory, data EEPROM memory, ID locations, and
Configuration bits.
•Verify
– Verifies program memory, data EEPROM memory, ID locations and Con-
figuration bits read from the target MCU against the code stored in the
programming software.
•Erase
– Performs a bulk erase of the target MCU. OSCCAL and band gap values
are preserved (PIC12F629/675 and PIC16F630/676 only).
• Blank Check
– Performs a blank check of program memory, data EEPROM
memory, ID locations and Configuration bits.
• Full Erase (OSCCAL and BG erased)
– Performs a bulk erase including the
OSCCAL and Band Gap (BG) values (PIC12F629/675 and PIC16F630/676 only).
• Regenerate OSCCAL
– Regenerates the OSCCAL value (only for
PIC12F629/675 and PIC16F630/676). The AUX line must be connected to the
RA4/T1G pin.
• Set Band Gap Calibration Value
– Sets the band gap value (only for
PIC12F629/675 and PIC16F630/676).
TOOLS
• Code-Protect Device
– Enables code protection features of the microcontroller on
future write operations.
• Target Power
– Power target from PICkit™ 2 Microcontroller Programmer.
• Check Board
– Verifies communication with the PICkit™ 2 Microcontroller
Programmer and reads the device ID of the target MCU.
• Download PICkit 2 Operating System
– Performs a download of the PICkit™ 2
Microcontroller Programmer firmware operating system.
