Upload
The Upload function transfers data from a tool (such as an emulator or programmer) to
the host PC, or from the target board to the emulator.
USB
Universal Serial Bus. An external peripheral interface standard for communication
between a computer and external peripherals over a cable using bi-serial transmission.
USB 1.0/1.1 supports data transfer rates of 12 Mbps. USB 2.0 supports data rates up
to 480 Mbps and is often referred to as high-speed USB.
Vector
The memory locations that an application will jump to when a Reset or an interrupt
occurs.
Warning
IDE – An alert that is provided to warn you of a situation that would cause physical
damage to a device, software file, or equipment.
ALU30, C30 – Warnings report conditions that may indicate a problem, but do not halt
processing. In MPLAB C30, warning messages report the source file name and line
number, but include the text ‘warning:’ to distinguish them from error messages.
Watch Variable
A variable that you may monitor during a debugging session in a Watch window.
Watch Window
Watch windows contain a list of watch variables that are updated at each breakpoint.
Watchdog Timer
A timer on a PIC microcontroller that resets the processor after a selectable length of
time. The WDT is enabled or disabled and set up using Configuration bits.
WDT
See Watchdog Timer.
Workbook
For MPLAB SIM stimulator, a setup for generation of SCL stimulus.
WorkSpace
A workspace contains MPLAB X IDE information on the selected device, selected
debug tool and/or programmer, open windows and their location, and other IDE
configuration settings.
