Clear All Memory
By clicking View > Clear All Memory from the View Menu, MPLAB IPE clears all the memory views.
Memory Settings
The specific kinds of memory shown are determined by the Advanced Mode or Production Mode settings. This option toggles between showing and not showing the memory. A check mark before the option indicates it is enabled (showing) in the Memory View pane located near the bottom of the window; unchecked indicates that the memory is not showing. The accompanying figure shows the Memory View pane.
The memory settings appear in a popup window
This table summarizes the Fill Memory dialog box options.
| Setting | Description |

| Start Address | Start address of the fill operation |
| End Address | End address of the fill operation |

When selected, this option transfers the image from the connected MPLAB PM3 Universal Device Programmer. The status displays in the Output window.

Print Memory Window
You can print the memory window in MPLAB® IPE by right-clicking on a value in the Memory View window and then selecting Print. This command will print the entire contents of the memory. So, if you have a large device, such as a PIC32, the printout will probably be quite large. In this case, you might consider printing to a file, rather than to a printer.
