NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS
All documentation becomes dated, and this manual is no exception. Microchip tools and 
documentation are constantly evolving to meet customer needs, so some actual dialogs 
and/or tool descriptions may differ from those in this document. Please refer to our web site 
(www.microchip.com) to obtain the latest documentation available.
Documents are identified with a “DS” number. This number is located on the bottom of each 
page, in front of the page number. The numbering convention for the DS number is 
“DSXXXXXA”, where “XXXXX” is the document number and “A” is the revision level of the 
document.
For the most up-to-date information on development tools, see the MPLAB
