This example shows how to send a string message from the PIC18F47Q10 microcontroller to the PC and use MPLAB Data Visualizer Terminal to see it.

The PIC18F47Q10 Curiosity Nano Development Board (DM182029) is used as the test platform. It has an onboard debugger that acts as an USART to USB convertor so no further hardware is needed.
The following configurations must be made for this project:
| Pin | Configuration |
|---|---|
| RD0 | Digital Output |
Run the code, start MPLAB® X Data Visualizer on the correct COM port and select the terminal input source than messages will start appearing.
In this example the EUSART is set in the most common configuration (asynchronous operation and 8N1 message format) and "Hello World" messages are transmitted. Data Visualizer is used to see the messages on the PC.
