PW (Password)
[Configuration]
DESCRIPTION: PW
The (PW) Password command sets or changes the controller's security password. The command requires
two parameters; p,p. Both parameters are the new password up to 8 characters in length. Both parameters
must be identical for the new password to be accepted. The password can only be set or changed while the
controller is in the "Unlocked" mode, (see the LC command) or a command error will result. Once a valid
password is entered, it is automatically burned into the controller EEPROM. The burn causes all parameters
listed on the BN page to be discarded.
ARGUMENTS: PW p,pwhere
p,p are identical passwords up to 8 characters in length.
All characters can be alphabetic or numeric.
