Exporting a HEX File in MPLAB® IPE
MPLAB® Integrated Programming Environment (IPE) allows you to export data from the IPE to storage media. By default, these options are not available in Production Mode. However, in Advanced Mode, an authorized user can change the default states of this feature for the Production mode.
Launch MPLAB IPE. Click File which is located at the upper left of the IPE window. Select Export > HEX as shown in the accompanying image.
Before exporting the HEX file, make sure the Allow Export Hex option is checked in the Production Mode settings, as shown in the accompanying image. Click Log out to return to the Production Mode. To make changes to the Production Mode settings, you need to first login to Advanced Mode. Refer to this Advanced Mode Login page for details.
