Develop with Configuration bits set in code?
To use only Configuration bits in code, i.e., initialization data, to develop your
application:
• Do not change any Configuration bit settings in the Configuration Bits window.
• Configure>Settings
, Program Loading tab, “Clear program memory upon loading
a program” should be checked.
12.22 FILE (EDITOR) WINDOW
A File window contains the source code for your application. You may open an existing
source code text file in this window (File>Open
) or open a blank window and type in
your code (File>New
). Once you have included a file in a project, and if you have it open
when saving the project, it will open every time you open your project (Project>Open
).
Text in a file window is edited using the MPLAB Editor. See documentation for the editor
for more on its operation.

You may split the File window by clicking and dragging on the rectangular “nub” before
the scroll arrow (see image below). Splitting the window allows you to view different
sections of long code.
There is a right mouse button menu available in this window which contains several text
editing and debugging options. Additional text editing options may be found in the Edit
menu (see MPLAB Editor help for more information). Additional debugging options may
be found on the Debugger menu (after you have selected a debug tool).
Code execution information may be displayed in the form of symbols in the gutter of the

If you mouseover (move your cursor over) a variable, the variable address is displayed
in a pop-up.
