1.

Save data as HEX file

Save the controllers content and save it as INHX8M file onto the hard disk. Attention:
controllers with an activated "code protect" bit cannot be read because of the copyright by the
manufacturers. Memory dump HEX files of the 18Fxxxx family will be written as INHX32 files.

2.

Load a HEX file

Reading of a file from a storage device to the software memory. Attention: the file needs to
have an INHX8M, INHX16 or INHX32 format. The compiler (e.g. MPASM) must be configured
so it can generate an INHX8M file.

3.

Load the Mpasm editor.

Start the included Microchip Assembler. Updates can be found with the complete Microchip
"MPLAB" compiler on the website: 

www.microchip.com.

4.

Write all data to the PIC

Write the loaded HEX file to the controller in the ZIF socket.

5.

Load all data from the PIC

Reads the controller content and places it into the software buffer memory. Attention:
controllers with an activated "code protect" bit cannot be read because of the copyright by the
manufacturers.

6.

Write the data from Hex file directly to the PIC

Write a HEX file directly to the controller without loading it in the buffer memory first.

7.

Call up a help file.

Start the on-line instructions manual of the PICprog2006 software.

8.

Choice bar for the PIC

"PIC Family": Select the desired controller family. The family and
type configuration has been separated to shorten and to simplify the
choice list.

Select the desired controller belonging to the family chosen in point
"8". Controllers preceded by a green "V" sign have been tested by
Velleman with this PIC programmer whereas controllers preceded
by a yellow "X" sign have been implemented in the actual software
but not tested with this programmer. When meeting with difficulties,
simply send the controller with an explanatory letter to the Velleman
main office, attn the support department.

We will do our utmost to solve the problem. We can not offer any
guarantee since we depend on the protocol data released by
Microchip.
