1. Click Customize... button.
2. Go to the Commands tab.
3. Select File category and drag the three buttons to the menu bar.
4. Repeat step 3 for View and Program categories.
To remove the buttons from the menu bar:
1. Activate the View > Toolbar dialog box.
2. Drag the button from the menu bar to anywhere in the desktop.
You can also create new tool bar on the desktop by clicking the New button.
1. Enter the name of the new toolbar in the dialog box and click OK.
2. A blank tool bar will be created at the left hand corner.
3. Select the Commands tab, drag and drop any desired function buttons
to the All tool bar.
Status Bar
Use this command to display and hide the Status Bar, which provides
description on each function and the current device. A check mark appears
next to the menu item when the Status Bar is displayed.
Program Menu
The Program Menu consists of the fundamental programming functions for
the PIC Programmer. They include blank check, read, verify and program
devices.
Blank Check
For PGM16, the Blank Check command reads the fuse words, ID and checks
if the device memory and EEPROM memory, if applicable, is blank. The
results are displayed in the Device Status section in the Device Configuration
Window. For memory types, it will display Blank/NOT Blank and for fuse
and ID, it displays the value of the registers.
You can customize to perform blank check on some or all of the memory
types by checking the appropriate box in the Options box above the Device
Status box in the Device Configuration Window.

Read Device
The Read Device command will perform the followings:
Read program memory from the device and display it in the Program
Memory Window.
For processors with EEPROM Memory, read EEPROM memory and
display it in the EEPROM Memory Window.
For PIC14000 family devices, read and display the calibration data in
the Calibration Memory Window.
Read the configuration fuse and display it in the Device Status box as
well as updating them in the Device Specifications box.
Read the customer ID and display it in the Device Status box.
Exactly which of the above steps will be performed in a Read command
depends on the selections in the Options box. For example, when Program
Memory is the only options checked, the fuse will not be read and updated in
the PC buffer.
Verify Device
The Verify Device command will perform the followings:
Read program memory from the device and compare it against the
Program Memory buffer. The Verify Error Window will be opened
automatically if there are errors; the Program Memory field in Device
Status section will display Fail.
For processors with EEPROM Memory, read and compare EEPROM
memory data in the device against the buffer. The Pass/Fail result
will be displayed in the Device Status box. If verification is negative,
the Verify Error window will be opened automatically. Click the
EEPROM tab in the Verify Error window to see the results.
For PIC14000 family devices, read and compare Calibration memory
data in the device against the buffer. No comparison result will be dis-
played other than a Pass/Fail in the Device Status box.
Read the compare the configuration word and display the result as
Pass/Fail in the Device Status box.
Read the compare the customer ID and display the result as Pass/Fail
in the Device Status box.
Exactly which of the above steps will be included in the Verify Device
command depends on the selections checked in the Options box in the
Device Configuration Window.
Program Device
The Program Device command will program all or some of the following
items from the corresponding buffer to the device in the programmer,
