V210803 and above.
The protocol number can be accessed from the [HELP] -> Protocol menu item.
This should display two matching numbers similar to these…
MicroPro: P009Board: P009.
These two numbers should match or the programmer will not work properly.
To check files before upgrading, load the HEX file for your programmer board.
For example, if you have a K149-B kit, select PIC16F628 from the chip list and load the file called diyk149b.hex from your installation directory.
In the EEPROM section of the data list you will see the protocol number. If it doesn’t match the MicroPro protocol number then don’t upgrade with this HEX file or the project will not work.
