On the LHMI, these edit changes have immediate effect. This
means that the value changes directly when the up/down arrow is
pressed (i.e. there is no need to press the Enter key to effectuate the
change).
When navigating away from a LHMI forcing menu for an I/O board, the user is
prompted to either leave the signals forced, or to revert all of them back to the
unforced state.

It is possible to power-cycle the IED in this state without losing the
forcing states and values. This means that once a signal is forced,
and the IED remains in IED test mode, the input or output will
appear “frozen” at the value selected by the user
, even if the IED is
switched of
f and back on again.
