1 Introduction

The PICkit 2 Logic Tool allows the PICkit 2 ICSP connector pins to be used for stimulating and probing
digital signals in a target circuit, and as a simple 3 channel logic analyzer. The Logic Tool is opened by
selecting Tools > Logic Tool … in the main PICkit 2 application window.

The Logic Tool has two operating modes. The Logic I/O mode is useful for triggering inputs to a PIC
microcontroller or other digital circuitry, and can monitor digital signals to display their state. In
essence, it provides an alternative for wiring buttons and LEDs to pins or signals while debugging or
developing I/O functions
