In order to perform the target test in Controller Tester, the mdb.bat file included in MPLAB must be modified so that the log output from the debugger can be saved in a file format.
The mdb.bat file path is as follows.

For windows 32 bit

  • C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLABX\vn.nn\mplab_ide\bin\mdb.bat

For windows 64 bit

  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Microchip\MPLABX\vn.nn\mplab_ide\bin\mdb.bat

Modify the code in the last line of the mdb.bat file as follows.

before modification

"%jdkhome:exe =exe%" -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar "%mdb_jar%" %1

after modification

call "%jdkhome:exe =exe%" -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar "%mdb_jar%" %1 >> %CT_TARGET_PATH%\mdb_log.txt
