3.4.1.4 Setting or Changing a Password Key
As a security feature, the instrument can be configured so that a password key is required to access the
Engineering Mode configuration function. The password key can only be set by the Hand-Held Configurer,
or the 53HC3300 or 53WS5000 software packages via a PC, or SUPERVISOR-PC, and not by the instru-
ment front panel keys.
A password key is a special data type (Q1) that is displayed or configured just like any other data type
using the Hand-Held Configurer. The value assigned to a password key must be an ASCII numeric string
