3.3 Engineering Mode Overlays
The engineering mode overlays are used to make the necessary parameter entry selections for the operator
displays and to configure the Datalink communications port. The entries are made to addressed datapoints
via the overlay single edit line at the bottom of the display. It should be noted that engineering mode has a 20
second timeout if it is accessed and its functions (e.g., configure or display) are not used.
3.3.1 Responding to the Prompt: KEY?
When the password prompt KEY? appears, it indicates a password was set in the MicroTools software. The
password can not be set via the front panel push buttons.
A password key is a maximum of 10 numeric characters (numbers 0-9 only). It does not impede display
functions in engineering mode but must be unlocked to perform configuration functions. A password key is
NOT SET FOR NEW INSTRUMENTS from the factory; therefore, if it is set, it must have been done locally.
The password must first be obtained from the originator before the procedure in Table 3-1 can be used to
access the engineering mode configuration function capabilities.
