when to tie MCLR to VDD?

[Ambient]

I did find them there, I am just looking for a full description of what each does, cause the spec sheet (at least for the 12f683) does not list them, as they are for the IDE and not the PIC.

I did find some info in the "Memory Programming Specification" sheets that get into the settings.

I designed the pcb with a jumper for the 10k so I can go either method now. Is there a specific date that they changed the terminology so that I can be sure? Then I just gotta find the date the PIC was released, I hope.

Thanks

Doesn't matter when the PIC was released, PIC's don't have any part of the assembly process - it's all just down to the include file and what it says in there.

I see now. All I had to do was change the hex to binary to see what was happening. I never do things the easy way the first time lol.

Thanks

Don't! The purpose of the config labels is to simplify the device configuration!
I've merged some information from the include file and the datasheet of the PIC12F683:

I just meant that I could look at what is being set/cleared with each config setting, I am still using the CONFIG commands just as they are. Thanks for the info though, saves a lot of time scratching my head.
