Thanks for the offer, Evan

I am a hobbyist, so it is not for commercial use.

I was looking for a solution in the form of a small program written in VB or whatever language, producing an EXE file which, once called from a bat or cmd would generate a SQTP file following the Microchip format, and containing the current date and time.   That file is then passed as a parameter to PK3cmd.

My goal is only to have the date and time at which the PIC was programmed.

The memory region may vary (EEPROM, Top of Program memory, top of HEF....) and could also be a parameter

See file format : https://microchipdeveloper.com/ipe:sqtp-start

We may be able to help.

PICKitPlus has a set of features in the PK+Gang Programmer that covers this.  But, that is expensive.

We can add to our base software this SQTP  capability.

Questions:  Is this commercial usage?  And, where is the value written to? (Which memory area ?)

You can ping me directly so we can get you involved in any development.

    Hi there,

    Whenever it's possible, I use a TL866 programmer with the MiniPro
    programming software.

    One function I really like about that software is the ability to
    generate and write auto-serial numbers (which in itself is nothing
    special, because known as SQTP in MPLab IPE).
    But one of the possible choice of format for those serial numbers
    is the current date and time.
    You also have the choice of the memory in which program it
    (EEPROM, Top of Program memory,....)    See attached screenshot

    Unfortunately, newer PIC's are not supported by TL866, and then, I
    have to use my PicKit4 with MPLab IPE.

    But MPLab IPE does not support this usefu function.

    Does anyone have the knowledge of a way I could achieve this, may
    be with a batch file generating the date and time and use it as
    parameter for the command line of PK program ?
    I am not fluent enough in writing batch or cmd files to achieve
    this, so if anyone could help....

    Thanks in advance
