Good programmers will follow the Microchip recommendation to read the calibrated values, erase the chip, then write the calibrated values back. A recent programmer I worked on does exactly that for the 12F628/675. You'd have to check the documentation for the specific programmer, or how MPLAB handles it if you are programming directly from MPLAB. ***************************************************************** Embed Inc, embedded system specialists in Littleton Massachusetts (978) 742-9014, http://www.embedinc.com -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
