I'm using PicKitPlus to program a PIC16F15313 and the data sheet for the part says unimplemented bits in the configuration words are read as "1". The PicKitPlus software seems to read the unimplemented bits as "0" which is confusing and makes it difficult to verify if configuration words are being programmed correctly. Not only does PicKitPlus read unimplemented configuration bits as "0", it doesn't seem to do this consistently making it even harder to verify configuration word programming.

Any chance of correcting this in future releases or any explanation why you aren't following Microchip convention here? My chip seems to be configured correctly BTW.

@Jay.

There is a toggle to set to 1. See Tools/Display Unimplemented Config Bits
