Select "Edit - ID Locations". If the values displayed do not reflect those desired, simply select and
edit the appropriate field (4 bit or 7 bit). Any changes take effect immediately and will be
implemented with the next programming action (i.e. Autorun, program ID locations, etc.).

Sometimes it is desirable to block access to option settings for a HEX file in order to prevent
undesired changes. Whether this is for archiving "released" code or for the production department,
QuickWriter provides a simple method of protecting your settings from accidental changes. This is
accomplished through a "control" file.
The control file contains all option settings for QuickWriter, is saved in the same directory as the
HEX file and is created with the same name as the HEX file except the file extension is changed to
".QWC". One of the options in the control file instructs QuickWriter to DISABLE option editing.
The following will be disabled when a HEX file is opened, if the "Disable Option Editing for this file"
option has been selected:
MCU selection.
Auto Options, HEX Options and General Options.
Code, FUSE, ID and Calibration editors.
Manual access to tasks in the "Programming Tasks" tree or MCU Section menu.
ALL programming functions except Auto Run, Erase, Blank Check and Verify.
A detailed procedure for setting options for production personnel is described below but the
general procedure is to Open the HEX file, set all desired options, select "Disable Option Editing"
in "General Options", then select "File - Save Option Settings". The control file has now been
created and modified (resides in the same directory as the HEX file), and is now ready for the
production department.
To configure a HEX file for archiving or production use, follow the procedure described here.

4.
Open the desired HEX file from the directory it will be used in if possible.
Verify the MCU, Configuration Word and ID location settings. If the MCU and Configuration
Word are incorrect you will need to make the necessary changes, then save the HEX file
with ALL "Save Hex Options" enabled or select the proper overrides in HEX Options .
After saving the hex file, re-open it and re-verify the MCU, Configuration Word and etc. If
everything is correct, proceed with the next step.
Go to the "Options - Auto Options" and select each option to be performed during
programming. Each selected item will be performed when the production department chooses
"Auto Run" (or F4 or Alt+A).
If you have enabled Serialization, verify the serial number length and address settings to
prevent overlapping valid code or EE data. Also verify the "last serial number" and "Auto
Increment" settings (see:
