    Ask the person who programmed it.

    Always wear safety glasses while programming.

    One way is to try and read it and get garbage...or all $ff or all $00...
    What kind of microchip are you trying to copy? What part number? What company provided this chip?
    How about some information!!!

    It is a 28 pin PIC16F873,

    It is found in one of our physics equipment.
    We want to make a backup in case this one gets damaged
    as it has in the past. Students use this equipment and we
    know how they are.

    rotsa ruck raggy...
    Probably not going to happen...
    Physics equipment is a bit vague, don't you think?
    There's a reason why these companies put copy protection on proprietary firmware...

    It was worth a shot.

    Didn't think the type of equipment was important but
    it measures the "hall effect" of certain probes and
    the manufacturer is Leybold.
