i get another question. i tried your vi and connect PM3 with PC by USB ,So i configure it to beC:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLAB IDE\Programmer Utilities\PM3CMD\PM3Cmd.exe -5 -P16F684  -Fd:\x1.hex -M . then run the vi. it failed and says "| Could not establish communications using USB." .In my pc, i use USB Keyboard and mouse. do you have any same experience like it ? and how to resolve ? thanks.

Hi ATEProject,

I haven't had very good luck working with the USB port on the MPLAB PM3 programmer.  You have to be carefull to install the MPLAB software before you connect the programmer, otherwise the wrong drivers will get loaded and the USB won't work or will work very slowly.  There are extensive notes in the MPLAB installation guide alerting the user  to this issue.  There are also instructions on what to do if inadvertently do this.

I use the serial connection, specifically com 1.  You may want to try that.

Baud Rate 57,600

Data Bits 8

Parity None

Stop Bits 1

Flow Control hardware

Hope this helps

Hi All

I am trying to change the calibration memory (0xFF) of the IC. MPLAB IDE can do that by changing at the setting tab. However, i can't find any method doing that  by using PM3CMD.exe. Anyone has any idea how to do that? Thanksa lot!

Rebecca,

I have taken a look at the information you have provided, but it isn't very specific about the big picture of what you are doing.  Also, it looks like this is an entirely different issue than the chain of previous posts.  I would suggest providing more information and creating a new thread with a title that specifically describes your issue.  Thanks.

Rebecca,

I have worked extensively with the MPLAB PM3 programmer using LabVIEW and the pm3cmd.exe.  I haven't work with the calibration function.  I used the pm3cmd.exe /? command and it returns all the available switches along with the proper syntax.  I didn't see any specific information or commands for calibration.  Microchip has a forum where you can post this question.  This may be your best alternative.
