3.0. On-board LvPICFlash Programmer
A programmer is a necessary tool when working with microcontrollers. It is used to load a hex code into the microcontroller and
provides an interface between the microcontroller and the PC. The
LV24-33 v6
has an on-board
LvPICFlash
programmer. The
LvPICFLASH
program is used for loading a .hex file into the microcontroller. Figure 3-3 shows connection between the compiler,
LvPICFLASH
program and the microcontroller.

Programming process
On the left side of the
Lv
PICFlash
program’s main
window, there is a number of
options for setting the operation
of the microcontroller to be
used. A number of options
which enable the programming
process are provided on the right
side of the window. Positioned
in the bottom right corner of
the window, the
Progress
bar
enables you to monitor the
programming progress.
