- available for dsPIC30 family only, may be useful for operation at low voltages

When the option is ON the DM (EEPROM) is excluded from row erase procedure

NOTE: available for dsPIC30 family only, may be useful to preserve EEPROM

When the option is ON an opcode of the calibration memory is tested during programming

NOTE: available for devices which have a calibration word with movlw/retlw opcode (PIC12F519,

PIC12F675, etc.)

The ICP setup is saved in a configuration file named "icp01.cfg".

IMPORTANT:

the program reads a configuration file that is located in a directory which specified in "Start in"
