3.6 CONNECTING THE LOGIC PROBES

The logic probes may be connected into the logic probe connector on the emulator pod.

These probes will allow halting the MPLAB REAL ICE in-circuit emulator by external

triggers, and will provide output triggers to synchronize external equipment such as

oscilloscopes and logic analyzers. See Section 6.3 “External Triggers” for setup

information.

This connector can also be used for trace. See:

• Section 2.5.3 “I/O Port Trace Connections”

• Section 2.5.4 “PIC32 Instruction Trace Connections”

3.7 SETTING UP MPLAB IDE

Once the hardware is connected and powered, MPLAB IDE may be set up for use with

the MPLAB REAL ICE in-circuit emulator.

On some devices, you must select the communications channel in the Configuration

bits, e.g., PGC1/EMUC1 and PGD1/EMUD1. Make sure the pins selected here are the

same ones physically connected to the device.

For more on setting up MPLAB IDE, see Chapter 5. “General Setup”.
