How do I:
Clear Configuration bits upon loading a program?
Select Configure>Settings
and click on the Program Loading tab. Check the box for
Clear Configuration bits upon program loading.
Develop with the Configuration Bits window?
To use only the Configuration Bits window to develop your application:
• Do not set any Configuration bits in code, i.e., do not use initialization data.
• Configure>Settings
, Program Loading tab, “Clear program memory upon loading
a program” should be unchecked.
Once you have completed development, you will then have to copy your
Configuration Bits window settings into initialization data.
Note: These values are obtained when building a source file and are used to
control the operation of the debug tool.
