2.3.2 Device Identification
If the Mid-range (14-bit core) Flash device family is selected, the PICkit 2
Microcontroller Programmer will automatically read the device ID word from the
PICmicro
®
MCU and display it in the Configuration window as shown in Figure 2-3.
FIGURE 2-3: IDENTIFY DEVICE
If the Baseline (12-bit core) Flash device family is selected, the user must select the
specific device from the device drop-down box as shown in Figure 2-4.

CAUTION
Ensure that the correct Baseline Flash device has been selected. These devices do not
contain a device ID to confirm device selection. Choosing the wrong Baseline Flash
device may cause an erasing of the OSCCAL value stored in the last memory location.
