Hey folks, I finally had a chance to grab a NEW PIC and read it to try and view this factory calibration value. But I can't seem to find it.

So as I stated earlier I have only 12F683, 16F688 & 16F690 chips. If I put a NEW pic in my programmer (pickit2 w/low pin count demo board) and then "read" the chip, all I see in the "Program Memory" window is "3FFF" in all memory locations. In the "EEPROM" window is "FF" in all locations.

Where do I look to find this "osccal" factory calibration value?
Are these chips just too "low end" to have this calibration value?

Why do I see "3FFF" in the program code area? This translates to 14 binary bits of "1". Why 14 bits? (the .pdf documentation says the 16F688 is an 8bit mcu)

Is it possible to view all the other "special function registers"? As I look at the .pdf it shows various values for the registers on power-up, and they are NOT all 1's.

HELP!!
