3.6.4 Transactions Window

The Transactions window, shown in Figure 3-12, keeps a running log of the commands

and data that are communicated between the PICkit Serial Analyzer program and

target device.

From the menu bar on the Transaction window, the contents can be saved (File>Save

)

to a *.txt or *.rtf file. The file can later be retrieved (File>Open

) and displayed in

the Transactions window.
