To check the functionality of the program we need to run the code on the target board. Connect the target board to USB Port of PC. During the installation of Dynamic C drivers are installed. But if you find any difficulty about installation of drivers, they can be found in the directory of installation (for eg. "C:\DCRABBIT_10.62\Drivers\Rabbit USB Programming Cable\Windows").

It may happen that during installation of hardware windows may assign the COM Port number with higher number. In this case from Device Manager select COM Port and in Advanced Settings assign COM port number to 1.

To program Click on Compile Menu->Compile project to Target->Store Program in Flash.
