Memory Settings

The specific kinds of memory shown are determined by the Advanced Mode or Production Mode settings. This option toggles between showing and not showing the memory. A check mark before the option indicates it is enabled (showing) in the Memory View pane located near the bottom of the window; unchecked indicates that the memory is not showing. The accompanying figure shows the Memory View pane.

Print Memory Window

You can print the memory window in MPLAB® IPE by right-clicking on a value in the Memory View window and then selecting Print. This command will print the entire contents of the memory. So, if you have a large device, such as a PIC32, the printout will probably be quite large. In this case, you might consider printing to a file, rather than to a printer. For further information, please visit the MPLAB IPE page.
