PICkit™ 3 User’s Guide
9.5.5 Settings Dialog, Clock Tab
The debug clock mode is selected on this tab. Check the box for “FRC in debug mode”
to use the fast RC clock while debugging.
Device emulation occurs at the speed of the processor. If it is running at low frequency
(for example 32kHz), all operations such as stepping, refreshing the watch window, etc.
are slow. However, some processors have a built-in Fast RC oscillator. If the “FRC in
debug mode” option is checked, after the application running at normal speed halts, it
switches to the faster oscillator enabling emulation and peripherals (if not frozen) to run
faster.
9.5.6 Settings Dialog, Secure Segment Tab
For CodeGuard™ Security devices, set up secure segment properties on this tab.
For more details on CodeGuard Security functionality, please refer to the CodeGuard
Security reference manual for 16-bit devices (DS70180) and dsPIC33F/PIC24H and
dsPIC30F device programming specifications found on our website.

9.5.7 Settings Dialog, Warnings Tab
A list of all PICkit 3 programmer/debugger warnings are displayed on this tab.
• Check a warning to enable it. The warning will be displayed in the Output window.
• Uncheck a warning to disable it.
Warnings are not errors and will not stop your project from building. If you receive error
messages, please see Chapter 8. “Error Messages”.
9.5.8 Settings Dialog, Power Tab
Set up the power options on this tab.
Click in the checkbox to enable/disable “Power target circuit from PICkit 3”.
Adjust the slide bar to select the voltage. The value in the field changes according to
your adjustments.
9.5.9 Settings Dialog, Limitations Tab
