Details
This write-only attribute (cannot be read) stores the password set for any remote interface. When password
usage is enabled (localnode.passwordmode), supply this password to change the configuration, or to control
an instrument from a web page or other remote command interface.
The instrument continues to use the old password for all interactions until the command to change it executes.
When changing the password, give the instrument time to execute the command before attempting to use the
new password.
You cannot retrieve a lost password from any command interface.
The password can be reset by resetting the LAN from the front panel or by assigning an empty string to this
attribute.
Example
localnode.password = "N3wpa55w0rd"
