16 Preferences

16.1 Menu: Options

→ Preferences

16.2 Blank check before programming [ ]

Enables/disables blank check operation before device programming. This option is not useful for flash
devices

16.3 Bulk erase device before programming [

]

When the option is ON the device will be automatically erased by bulk erase mechanism

IMPORTANT:

- this option must be set to ON for proper operation with most of devices
- it's the only option to erase code protected device

16.4 Row erase device before programming [ ]

When the option is ON the device will be automatically erased by the row erase mechanism

IMPORTANT:

- row erase can't erase a code protected device
- available for dsPIC30 family only, may be useful for operation at low voltages

16.5 Exclude DM (EEPROM) from row erase [ ]

When the option is ON the DM (EEPROM) is excluded from row erase procedure

NOTE: available for dsPIC30 family only, may be useful to preserve EEPROM

16.6 Check MOVLW/RETLW of calibration word [ ]

When the option is ON an opcode of the calibration memory is tested during programming

NOTE: available for devices which have a calibration word with movlw/retlw opcode (PIC12F519,
PIC12F675, etc.)

17 Configuration File

The ICP setup is saved in a configuration file named "icp01.cfg".

IMPORTANT:

the program reads a configuration file that is located in a directory which specified in "Start in"

property. This approach allows creation of unlimited configurations on the same PC

Normally, a configuration file should not be modified by a text editor.

18 Command Line Parameters (GUI)

Some parameters can be loaded from the command line:
