These sockets work on both PRO MATE and PRO MATE II. For socket modules with two sets of screws, the longer screws are for PRO MATE and the shorter screws are for PRO MATE II.
PRO MATE II Device Support Programmer Dialogs PRO MATE II Device Programmer and Configuration Bits dialogs for devices requiring calibration are the same as any other PICmicro device (Figure 2.1and Figure 2.2). Follow the instructions detailing how to program PICmicro devices in the PRO MATE II User’s Guide (DS30028).
Manufacturer’s Code When an HCS product is selected as the device to be programmed by the PRO MATE II programmer, the Enter Key dialog box is displayed when Program is pressed. As mentioned in Section 3.4, the manufacturer’s code is very important to prevent cloning of transmitters and should be carefully guarded.

This prevents the manufacturer’s code being inadvertently changed during a programming session. To change the manufacturer’s code, exit PRO MATE II and enter the new manufacturer’s code when the program is restarted. 3.5.4 Key Generation Source and Algorithms The key generation source and algorithms are selected when the user selects a decoder.
