The programmer has a dual function. In addition to being able to program a device out
of circuit using the applications module, you can also program a device which has been
soldered into your circuit. This allows you to solder in a blank device, program and
reprogram the device without removing it from the board. See the section “In-System
Programming” on page 10-1 for details. Both methods use the same user software.

This creates a new project. You will be prompted for the device type in a dialogue box.
Select the device you wish to base your project around, and press the “OK” button.
The system will then open Project Manager & Buffer windows to set project options and
allow you to open the Program and EEPROM files.

This allows you to save your project options including font settings, window positions,

You are prompted for a project file name with an .AVR extension. If either the Program
