PICkit™ 3 User’s Guide
For C code, this command executes one line of C code, which may mean the execution
of one or more assembly instruction, and then halts. After execution, all the windows
are updated.
Note: Do not step into a SLEEP instruction.
Step Over F8
Execute the instruction at the current program counter location. At a CALL instruction,
Step Over executes the called subroutine and halts at the address following the CALL.
If the Step Over is too long or appears to “hang”, click Halt.
Step Out
Not available.
Reset > Processor Reset F6
Issue a Reset sequence to the target processor. This issues a MCLR to reset the
program counter to the Reset vector.

breakpoints to halt code execution at specified lines in your code. Set multiple
breakpoints in this dialog.

breakpoint.
