2. Creation of a source text
Creation of a new text file: File/New
Saving the file: File/Save As …
Source-text writing:
;Program name: test.asm
#INCLUDE <P16F883.INC> ;DEFINITION FILE
NOP
MOVLW .25
MOVWF 0x20 ; 0x20 = first free position in the data memory
INCF 0x20
GOTO $-1
END ;END OF THE SOURCE-TEXT WRITING

3. Insertion of the source text into the project
1. Project window display
2. Insertion of the source text into the project
3. Source text is inserted into the project

4. Desktop setup From the View menu, select the items Watch and Output.
Arrange all the windows suitably on the desktop.

5. Saving the desktop setup
It is possible to save the desktop setup by means of the “Create Window Set” function from the “Window” menu:

6. Saving the source text and the project
MPLAB-IDE distinguishes between:
source text editor
project editor
Source text editor and Project use independent menus for creating, opening and saving of their files:
Opening the source text:
Opening the project:

7. Source text editor/ Project - summary
Only source-text writing
Indicates syntactic errors
Distinguishes in color between individual columns of the writing
Saving: File/Save As… (only a text file is saved!)
Project:
Starting, stopping, step-by-step operation and animation of the program
Display of the program memory, display of the EEPROM memory
Display of SFRs and user registers
Work with Breakpoints
Stopwatch – measuring the duration of a specific part of the program
Programming of a microcontroller
Saving: Project/Save Project As…

8. Summary of the subject matter - exercises
Create a source file named “test.asm”
Save it to your working file
Open the saved file and write a source text in it according to the documentation (keep the right formatting)
Save the source text (overwrite the original version)

9. Summary of the subject matter - exercises
Create a new project named “test.mcp”
Save the project to the working file
Open the project again and insert the source text “test.asm” in it
Open the working windows: Watch, Output, Stopwatch
