3.6 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.
