Exit Codes
Overview
Details
PicTools Manual 3.0
/X = Close with Exit Code [optional - only valid if filename and /A specified] - instructs the software
to inhibit all non-critical notification dialogs during "Auto Run" and close when finished. The
program will exit with an appropriate Error Code if an error occurred.
None
When the QuickWriter program terminates, an exit code is returned. This is normally ignored by
the system but can be a great benefit when programatically launching the QuickWriter program
from custom software (such as using the Window's API "ShellExecute" function). The exit codes
can be used by the lauching program to make intelligent decisions.
QuickWriter's Exit Codes are returned as a 2 byte bitmask, with each bit position representing a
particular error code. A return value of 0 (zero) indicates no errors occurred.

Example 1 - QW myhexfile.obj
The above example will launch QuickWriter, load the hex file "myhexfile.obj" from the same
directory as the QuickWriter software, retrieve all option settings from "myhexfile.qwc" (if it
exists), set the MCU to a 12CE673 then " Auto Run " and close. If any errors occur, the
program will remain open for you to view the results. After viewing the error, you will need to
manually close the program (Alt+X, or "File - Exit" ).
Example 2 - QW C:\myprojects\Blinkleds\myhexfile.obj
The above example will launch QuickWriter, load the hex file "myhexfile.obj" from the "C:
\myprojects\Blinkleds\" directory and retrieve all option settings from "myhexfile.qwc" (if it
exists). The MCU information will be set from the Control file if that option is specified in the
control file. If the control file did not specify an MCU override, then the MCU is extracted from
the hex file if a device record is present, else the last selected MCU will be used.
