4.2.2 File>Import

• File>Import>Environment – select to import (load) the environment (*.pen or .pm3 file).
• File>Import>Hex – select to import a hexadecimal file (*.hex).
  Note: If using a Hex file in the IPE and the file is modified using Notepad, MPLAB X IDE, etc., outside the IPE, the following message displays:

  
• File>Import>Multiple Hex – select to import multiple hexadecimal files (*.hex).
  Note: If Hex files were generated for individual memories for EEPROM, Flash, etc., these Hex files can be imported in the MPLAB IPE. These files are loaded in a FIFO (first in, first out) manner. When loaded into the IPE, the contents are loaded into the respective memory regions of the selected device. If memory regions overlap, a warning message displays in the Output window.

  From the Hex File Selection dialog, click the + button to browse and add files, or click the - button to remove a file. Select Load to import the files.
