4.5 PROJECT SETUP
To set up an MPLAB IDE project for the first time, it is advisable to use the built-in Proj-
ect Wizard (Project>Project Wizard
.) In this wizard, you will be able to select a lan-
guage toolsuite that uses the 16-bit assembler. For more on the wizard, and MPLAB
IDE projects, see MPLAB IDE documentation.
Once you have a project set up, you may then set up properties of the tools in MPLAB
IDE.
1. From the MPLAB IDE menu bar, select Project>Build Options>Project
to open a
dialog to set/check project build options.
2. Click on the tool tab to modify tool settings.
