Environment Settings
Environments allow you to save settings so that the same settings can be reloaded in another programming session. Environments are supported, under all tools, as either PEN files or PM3 files.
To view and change the Environments options, you need to first log in to the Advanced Mode and then click on Environment to display the available settings.
The Environment options table provides a brief description of the Environment options settings.
