MPLAB PM3 USB Device Driver
First Time Installation
For Windows 2000 and XP
To use MPLAB PM3 with USB communications, the following steps MUST be
taken in order to properly install the device drivers.
Before You Begin
MPLAB PM3 should NOT be plugged
into a USB port, powered, or have a
device plugged into it at this time.
If you have already plugged
MPLAB PM3 into the USB port
and the "Found New Hardware
Wizard" has popped up, either (1)
click Cancel on that dialog,
unplug the MPLAB PM3 and
continue with these instructions,
or (2) follow the instructions
specified in
Driversnn\ddpm3nn.htm of the
MPLAB IDE installation
directory, where nn is either 2k or
xp.
If you have already plugged
MPLAB PM3 into the USB port
and used the "Found New
Hardware Wizard" to install
drivers automatically, you have
installed the wrong drivers.
Follow the instructions specified
in
Utilities\MPUsbClean\clnpm3.htm
of the MPLAB IDE installation
directory.
STEP 1
Go to the Utitilites subdirectory in the
MPLAB IDE installation directory and
launch the preinstaller/updater
"MPUsbIRU.exe" from the MPUsbIRU
folder or click below:
Launch Preinstaller/Updater
The preinstaller/updater utility will open.
Carefully read the instructions displayed
in the top portion of the dialog before
proceeding.

Client". Click "Continue Anyway".
Click the Close button on the
preinstaller/updater utility when done.
STEP 4
Connect MPLAB PM3 to the PC with a
USB cable. Then, connect the power
supply and turn on the unit. Do not insert
a device into any sockets modules on
MPLAB PM3 at this time.
If you are using an external USB HUB,
make sure it has a power supply and is
powered or MPLAB PM3 will not work.
