Certain domains of the user dialog can be made inac-

cessible to the novice user by locking particular keys.

For example, the inadvertent overwriting of a method or

even the changing of parameters can be prevented in

this way.
The menu

'>keyboard options'

for the corresponding

functions is opened by holding down the

key while switching on the 766 IC Sample Processor.

Alternatively, a reset can be executed by pressing

and then the key within

0.4 seconds. This menu is also accessible when the en-

tire keyboard has been locked
The individual key domains that can be locked are the

following:

>keyboard options
lock keyboard: OFF

ON,OFF

Locking the entire keyboard
If, during routine use, only one particular method is to

be used, it may be desirable to block manual manipula-

tions on the 766 IC Sample Processor. Almost all the

keys on the keyboard can be locked for this purpose.

The , and keys

however, remain operable so that it is still possible to

start and stop a method. This can also be beneficial

when using the 766 IC Sample Processor with a PC

software (e.g. «IC Metrodata»). For this application the

keyboard may be disconnected.

If user methods are generally used, it might be wise to

protect the stored method parameters from alteration.

The parameter menu can then be made inaccessible.
