Locking the Instrument

The 45MG is equipped with an instrument lock that can be used by a supervisor to
restrict access to selected functions. The supervisor can also enter a password to
prevent other users from unlocking the functions. Once a password has been set, you
must reenter the password before you can lock or unlock any function.
The following functions can be locked:
• Calibration with [CAL VEL] and [CAL ZERO]
• Gain and waveform adjustments with [GAIN/WAVE ADJ]
• Transducer setup recall with [XDCR RECALL]
• Setup menu accessed with [SETUP]
• File menu or datalogger operations accessed with [FILE]
NOTE
When locking [CAL VEL] and [CAL ZERO], the function ([2nd F], [CAL ZERO]
(Do ZERO)) is still available.
Locking the calibration prevents changes to calibration values, thus preventing
parameters from affecting the value of the measurement, including material velocity
and test-block zero calibration. However, you can still view these values, use the
measurement screen, and use the datalogger functions.
Anytime a user attempts to use a locked function, a message appears in the help bar to
indicate that the function is locked (see Figure 7-8 on page 137).
