| This Plug-In will only run with PDS compiler version 3.5.2.0 or later. The PIC® Fuse Configurator Mk2 is a complete re-write of the original fuse configurator and uses information provided solely by Microchip™. This should result in more accurate fuse settings and reflect additional PIC® devices as they become available and supported by PDS. You must have the Microchip™ development environment MPLab IDE installed for this Plug-In to operate. |

The PIC® Fuse Configurator will now show the Microchip™ default settings for each device, using it will override any PDS fuse settings. The PIC® Fuse Configurator Mk2 will also let you choose the PIC® device you require.
A full list of all available PIC®s is shown based on the Microchip™ list, you can also choose by series. As not all of these devices are supported by PDS the list is compared with the PPI files in the current PDS release and only those which have an associated PPI file are shown as enabled in the list.
The PIC® Fuse Configurator Mk2 has a completely new user interface and appears as a function embedded in the IDE. It will appear in the editing window of the IDE and will show Group Name, Value and a fuller description than the original fuse configurator. You can choose the setting by either selecting from the value or from the description. You can toggle between the current IDE page and the fuse configurator by clicking on the PIC® Fuse Configurator Mk2 title in the top left hand corner of the editing window. A preview button allows you to view the code generated by the configurator before its added to your code. A Reset button will reset the configurator to your current fuse settings and a Default button will set the confiurator back to the Microchip™ defaults.
As always a comprehensive help file is provided.
The PIC® Fuse Configurator Mk2 can safely be run alongside the original Fuse Configurator.
This has been quite a big development but hopefully it will require less support than the original as all the information is coming from one source.
Note - The current version now produces PDS compatible fuse configurations by default. The assembler compatible configurations can still be produced by changing the relevant setting in Options.
