If the software recognized the chip, it will set the proper voltage and enable it when programming. You do not have to set the voltage or turn it on. For this reason it is important to have the pickit connected to the aether and plugged into the computer before firing up the programming application. If you do not have the pickit connected to the pc or to the aether when you open the programming application, you will get an error. You will then have to "check communications" to get it to recognize the chip. If the pickit programming application correctly identifies the chip, then you should have no issues programming the pic.
