5.5 Locking the Instrument
The Magna-Mike 8600 offers an instrument lock allowing a supervisor to restrict
access to selected functions. The supervisor can also enter a password to prevent other
users from unlocking the functions. Once a password has been set, you must reenter
the password before you can lock or unlock any function.
You can lock the following functions:
• Calibration (except Q-CAL and calibration recall)
• Setup menus accessed with [SET UP]
• File menu (except [SAVE], [SEND] and calibration recall)
Locking the calibration prevents changes to calibration values so that no parameters
can affect the value of the measurement.
Anytime a user attempts to use a locked function, a message appears in the help bar to
indicate that the function is locked (see Figure 5-9 on page 100).
