Fly Window

This option minimises the main window and opens a small “fly” window. This should stay on top of any open application.

It is useful if you are using MPLAB® to develop your code. After you assemble the ASM code, you can press the program button on the fly window to program a chip in the programmer.

To use this function properly, MicroPro must have the current HEX file loaded and the correct chip selected.

For example, if you are currently working on a project called LEDflash.asm in MPLAB® and you assemble it to produce LEDflash.hex, then LEDflash.hex must be loaded into Micropro.

When you press the Program Button on the fly window, MicroPro will check for the latest version of the current hex file before programming. In the example case, LEDflash.hex.

If the currently loaded file is older than the one found on the hard disc, then the newest file will be loaded before programming takes place.
