the PICkit 3 programmer software options and buffers 
should be set up as desired 
during Programmer-To-Go operation.
In fact,
it is highly recommended to test programming a target device 
from the software first, 
with all desired options, 
to ensure the device programs as expected 
 before downloading an image to Programmer-To-Go. 
Refer to the MPLAB IDE online help for information on using MPLAB IDE to program a device.


select Programmer >> Settings >> Programmer to go Tab (Figure: PICkit 3 Programmer To Go Tab).


In the "Image Name" field,

type in the name you want to use for your programming image.

●The “Programme Settins Report panels displays the setting you’ve selected for programming the device.

If you want to change any of these settings,

use the appropriate tab in the PICkit 3 Settings dialog.

●Click Send Image In Memory to execute an image transfer to the PICkit 3 unit. 

Once the image is stored in the PICkit 3,

you no longer need MPLAB IDE or a PC to program a device. 

You can take the PICkit 3 to other locations that may not have a computer and program a device 

with the push of a button.
