Overview
QuickWriter accepts INHX8M (INTEL HEX 8 bit merged) and INHX32 HEX files. For the PICmicro
MCU microcontroller, these are generally in one of two formats:
Microchip : Includes Code, Data, ID and Configuration Word information. This format is normally
saved with a ".hex" extension.
TechTools : Includes Code, Data, ID, Device type, Configuration Word and sometimes Calibration
information. This format is normally saved with a ".obj" extension.
QuickWriter will accept the above formats and adjust all relative data according to the type of
information found in the HEX file. Any information that is missing from the HEX file (such as the
Configuration Word) will be set to defaults unless manually overridden elsewhere in the program. If
the MCU type is not specified, then the currently selected MCU will be used.
QuickWriter saves HEX files with the ".hex" extension following Microchip's format. However, it
also includes the device type as a comment that can be read by QuickWriter. This allows other
products that may not recognize the device type to use the HEX file without experiencing any
errors.
Select " FILE - Open File ". Choose the desired file, then click "Open". The full filename and path
will be displayed in the Title Bar of the program, the file will be loaded into memory and all
displayed data will be updated with the contents of the HEX file.
Options are divided into five categories:
Auto Run Options
General Options
when preparing settings for production personnel.
for "Auto Run" cycles. These selections will enable or disable speed buttons and the
associated item in the "Task Tree" on the left of the main window, but will not affect the "MCU
SECTION" menu items, which will always be available while "Option Editing" is enabled in
General Options.
