View Menu

The View Menu can be found at the top of the MPLAB® IPE. The View Menu options allow you to:

• Show Memory
• Clear All Memory
• Fill Memory
• Memory Settings
• Power Settings

The following sections describe each option in details.

1. Show Memory

The specific kinds of memory that are shown are determined by the Advanced 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 figure below shows the Memory View pane.
