Congure
Open ICT
Open the ICT by double-clicking the executable le
(Intelligent Conguration Tool v2.X.X.exe). The ICT
will open to the Home page
Select Board
Click the Board Settings icon on the left navigation
menu (by default the second item). Click the “Select
Board” button in the center of the window, or click
the “+” at the top next to the “Start Page” tab. Click
the board you wish to congure.
Enter Sengs
Enter all desired settings, or use one of the
recommended congurations for your module by
clicking “Import è Board”.
If the module you are using is listed under
“Predened Settings”, select it, then press “Import”.
Otherwise, it is often a good starting point to select
the module with characteristics closest to the one you
are using.
Microchip provides recommended settings for
switching characteristics, including multi-level turn-on/
turn-o and desaturation waveforms. However, note
that some features, such as temperature and voltage
monitoring, are system-level considerations, and
therefore these must be determined by the end user.
You can also import a custom settings le by clicking
the “…” button under “Custom Settings”. Navigate to
the le, then press “Load from le” to preview the
settings, and nally “Import” to load these settings into
a new tab.

Compile
Click the “Compile” button on the right. Enter any of the optional
traceability information, then click “Compile!” to conrm.
Select a location to save the output. The compilation process will
create a new folder named SOFT-XXXXX-YY (depending on the entered
Part Number) containing all output les. Click “Select Folder” to
continue.
A window displaying compilation progress will appear. Wait for the
process to nish, then click “Close”.
Program
Open MPLAB X IPE. In the “Device” box, enter the
corresponding device based on the board you are
programming, using the table below.
Board Device
2ASC series PIC16F1776
62EM1 series PIC16F1773
Click “Apply”. Make sure PICkit 4 is selected as the Tool, then
click “Connect”.
Next to “Hex File”, click “Browse” and select the SOFT-XXXXX-
YY.hex le generated during compilation. Ensure the driver
board is powered, then click “Program”.
Power to the driver board can be made available through the
IPE software conguration by selecting Advanced Mode in
the Settings Pulldown menu (see right) or from the hardware
platform.
Test
Your board is ready to test! If you wish to change any parameters, simply edit those values in the Board Settings
page and repeat steps 4 and 5.
