Chapter 1. PICkit™ Serial Analyzer Overview
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The PICkit™ Serial Analyzer development system enables a personal computer (PC)
to communicate with embedded development systems via serial protocols such as
I
2
C™, SPI, asynchronous and synchronous USART. The PC program uses a graphical
interface to enter data and commands to communicate to the target device. Data and
commands can be entered using basic or scripting commands. The PICkit™ Serial
Analyzer connects to the embedded development system using a 6-pin header.
The PICkit™ Serial Analyzer is a sophisticated and highly configurable device. Please
take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the hardware interface and PC program
by reading this user’s guide. Chapter 2. “Getting Started” will guide you through
installing the PC program and running a simple demonstration program on the 28-Pin
Demo Board (DM164120-3) using the I
2
C serial protocol.
