Using Gang Adapters
Overview
NOTE: Each MCU has different Configuration options. If the MCU type is changed,
you will need to review changes in the Configuration Word options before
programming the MCU.
(see also:
Some PICmicro MCUs have Fuse options to "turn off" the external MCLR signal and others may
have options to set the Oscillator to "internal". On older MCUs with these options and a "Power
First" requirement of VDD (such as the 12C508/12C509), QuickWriter may have problems
re-programming or reading the contents once the fuses have been programmed. This normally
does not become an issue since the devices are OTP (one time programmable).
Newer MCUs with these fuse options allow a "Power first" of VPP (programming Voltage), which
ensures the device can re-enter programming mode and be read after the fuses have been
programmed.
During an "Auto Run" programming cycle, QuickWriter always verifies all sections of the MCU
before programming the Fuses. Programming the fuses last allows QuickWriter to perform a full
verification of all areas of the MCU regardless of the fuse settings.

When using Gang adapters, each device is programmed and verified independently, but at the
same time. Because of this, QuickWriter is able to save time while also tracking individual errors
that may occur for each device being programmed.
Gang adapters are available for all serially programmed devices that are supported by
This warning will help remind you that the protection fuses are about to be enabled.
Once the Code or Data protection fuses have been enabled on a device, the contents of the
protected section is no longer accessible for READING or VERIFYING.
NOTE: Code Protection will prevent erasing on most JW (Windowed, eraseble) devices.
If setting the Protection fuse was unintentional, then select NO to have QuickWriter
automatically disable the Protection and continue with the operation in progress. Otherwise
choose YES to continue "AS IS" or CANCEL to completely abort the operation.
