TABLE A-7: CLOCK OPTION CATEGORY
Use FRC in Debug mode
(dsPIC33F and PIC24F/H
devices only)
When debugging, use the device fast internal RC (FRC) for clock-
ing instead of the oscillator specified for the application. This is
useful when the application clock is slow.
Checking this check box will let the application run at the slow
speed but debug at the faster FRC speed.
Reprogram after changing this setting.
Note: Peripherals that are not frozen will operate at the FRC
speed while debugging.
TABLE A-8: COMMUNICATION OPTION CATEGORY
Interface Select the interface from the available options.
Speed (MHz) Enter a speed based on the available range for the inter-
