14.0 Password Protection
Several screens can be password protected to prevent important configuration settings
from being changed indiscriminately. For example, you may want to “lock” certain
process configurations if they are measuring or controlling a critical task.
When password protection is turned on, a small lock icon will appear in the upper right
corner of the screen. The icon will also indicate whether the unit is “locked”. The icon
appears unlocked if a user is logged in and locked when logged out.
The following menu items are locked when password protection is turned on and a user is
not logged in:
•
Main Menu
o
Processes
Locked process (user selectable)
