9.5.5 Settings Dialog, Clock Tab
Enter the run-time clock (instruction) speed on this tab. This does not set the speed,
but informs the debugger of its value.
9.5.6 Settings Dialog, Secure Segment Tab
For CodeGuard™ Security devices, set up secure segment properties on this tab.
For more details on CodeGuard Security functionality, please refer to the CodeGuard
Security reference manual for 16-bit devices (DS70180) and dsPIC33F/PIC24H and
dsPIC30F device programming specifications found on our website.
9.5.7 Settings Dialog, Warnings Tab
A list of all MPLAB ICD 3 in-circuit debugger warnings are displayed on this tab.
• Check a warning to enable it. The warning will be displayed in the Output window.
• Uncheck a warning to disable it.
Warnings are not errors and will not stop your project from building. If you receive error
messages, please see Chapter 7. “Error Messages”.
9.5.8 Settings Dialog, Power Tab
Set up the power options on this tab.
Click in the checkbox to enable/disable “Power target circuit from MPLAB ICD 3”.
Adjust the slide bar to select the voltage. The value in the field changes according to
your adjustments.
TABLE 9-9: CLOCK OPTIONS
Target Run-Time Instruction Speed
Speed value Enter a value for the “Speed unit” selected.
Example 1: For a PIC24 MCU and a target clock oscillator at 32
MHz (HS), instruction speed = 32 MHz/2 = 16 MIPS.
Example 2: For a PIC18F8722 MCU and a target clock oscillator
at 10 MHz (HS) making use of the PLL (x4 = 40 MHz), instruction
speed = 40 MHz/4 = 10 MIPS.
Speed unit Select either:
KIPS – Thousands (10
3
) of instructions per second
MIPS – Millions (10
6
) of instructions per second
Debug Mode Clock
Use FRC in Debug mode Select the checkbox if you want to use the fast internal oscillator
on the device. If selected any non-frozen peripherals will operate
at the FRC during debugging (see Section 9.5.3 “Settings
Dialog, Freeze on Halt Tab”).
