MPLAB Integrated Programming Environment
What is a programming environment? It is a simplified application that provides an interface for microcontroller (MCU) production programmers that allows a technician to easily load, program and verify software and avoid the complexities of full-featured Integrated Development Environments (IDEs). MPLAB Integrated Programming Environment (IPE) provides this type of solution. It is a simple interface that provides quick access to key production programming features. MPLAB IPE has a technician-level user interface for use on the manufacturing floor and provides production programming capabilities for all Microchip programmers and products supported by MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE). In production mode, technicians can program devices set by the engineer, view memory and power settings, read device ID, import hex files, environments and SQTP files, etc., as allowed by permission settings.
