Method File Protection
With firmware revsion B.02.05 (May 2007) several additional checks and
disabling of functions were added to ensure protected file security - online and
offline:
• If a file is protected, the user can not edit the currently loaded method content
or its filter settings.
•Edit, Filter, and Save buttons are disabled.
• Enter edit mode by pressing Enter button is disabled.
•Save As under a different name is allowed and will be stored under the new
name unprotected. Using the same name results in File Save Failed:
Permission denied error.
• Renaming a protected file is not allowed.
•Transfer of protected file is allowed, if not a protected file with the same name
already exists in the targeted destination. Then the user has to unprotect the
protected file on target first.
•Import fails, if a protected method with the same name on the Instant Pilot
already exists.
• In the files dialogs, a protected file can be copied, but not renamed or deleted.
Copy a protected file, makes an unprotected copy under a different name on
the same medium.
• To unprotect a file, the user has to enter the correct password.
