Using the PICDEM 17 Monitor

2.9

Running Diagnostics on the PICDEM 17

Demonstration Board

The Monitor firmware on the PIC17C756A provides several diagnostic
routines that allow the user to run pretested code on a peripheral. The
diagnostics include:

A/D – The A/D diagnostic allows the user to configure the A/D channel,

clock source, justification, and reference. The A/D results are displayed
in the Monitor message window.

During A/C Diagnostics, the switches and LEDs take on the following
functions:

Capture – The capture diagnostic allows the user to configure the

capture channel and mode. The capture results are displayed in the
Monitor message window.

During Capture Diagnostics, the switches and LEDs take on the follow-
ing functions:

FLASH – The external FLASH memory diagnostic simply writes all

zero’s, all one’s, checkerboard, and inverse checkerboard to a portion
of memory and checks to make sure that the values were properly
written. This diagnostic does not require any user interaction.

I

2

C – This diagnostic writes an incrementing count to the 24LC01B

Serial EEPROM on the PICDEM 17 demonstration board and verifies
that each location has been properly programmed. This diagnostic does
not require any interaction from the user.
