A.3.4 Freeze Peripherals
Select from the list of peripherals to freeze or not freeze on program halt. The available
peripherals are device dependent.
PIC12/16/18 MCU Devices
To freeze/unfreeze all device peripherals on halt, check/uncheck the “Freeze on Halt”
check box. If this does not halt your desired peripheral, be aware that some peripherals
have no freeze on halt capability and cannot be controlled by the debugger.
dsPIC, PIC24 and PIC32 Devices
Select the peripheral’s check box in the “Peripherals to Freeze on Halt” list, to freeze it
on a halt. Uncheck the peripheral to let it run while the program is halted. If you do not
see a peripheral on the list, check “All Other Peripherals.” If this does not halt your
desired peripheral, be aware that some peripherals have no freeze on halt capability
and cannot be controlled by the debugger.
To select all peripherals, including “All Other Peripherals,” click Check All. To deselect
all peripherals, including “All Other Peripherals,” click Uncheck All.
A.3.5 Power
Select power options.
A.3.6 Programmer To Go
1
If the Programmer To Go option is to be used, in the “Image Name” field, type the name
of the file that will be used for programming.
PGC Configuration This option determines the type of resistance that will be applied
to the PGC line (pull down, pull up or none). The default is pull
down. The value of the resistance is determined by the PGC
resistor value option below.
PGC resistor value (kOhms) Type in a resistor value from 0-50.The default value is 4.7
kOhms. If the PGC configuration is set to none, this value is
ignored.
PGD Configuration Select either none, pull up or pull down. The default is pull
down. The value of the resistance is determined by the PGD
resistor value option below.
PGD resistor value (kOhms) Type in a resistor value from 0-50.The default value is 4.7
kOhms. If the PGD configuration is set to none, this value is
ignored.
Program Speed Select the speed the debugger will use to program the target
either Low, Normal or High. The default is Normal. If program-
ming should fail, using a slower speed may solve the problem.
TABLE A-4: POWER OPTION CATEGORY
Power target circuit from
PICkit 4
If checked, this option will allow the PICkit 4 to power the target
circuit. Otherwise an external power supply must be used
(see Section 2.3.4 “Debugger Powered”).
Voltage Level If the “Power Target Circuit from PICkit 4” check box is checked,
select the target V
DD (1.2V-5.5V) that the debugger will provide.
1.This functionality is coming soon with a firmware update of the product through MPLAB X IDE.
