Loading Debug Symbols During Program/Build

The checkbox to “Load symbols when programming or building for production (slows process)” allows you to load debug symbols when programming, as when using RTDM with DMCI, Motor Control applications, etc. Otherwise, the checkbox should be left unchecked to speed up programming and building (default).
