Soft Lock
When you use high-power Tunable Laser Source modules, you must enter
the password to unlock the instrument. This feature is called "Soft Lock"
as opposed to a lock using a key.
At power on the instrument shows a dialog and prompts the user to enter
a code to unlock it. Later you can lock or unlock the instrument any time:
press the [Config] key, and then select "Lock" or "Unlock". The dialog
opens again and you can enter the password.
The default password is "1234".
If the instrument is locked, the status line shows "SL" (8163 A/B, 8166
A/B) or "SLock" (8164 A/B).
The instrument can also be locked and unlocked using a remote command:
N O T E
"LOCK 0|1, <password>".
Example: unlock the instrument using password "1234": lock 0,1234
8163B, 8166B: Grid group box visible, Output and Modulation group
boxes hidden.
8163A, 8166A: Grid, Output, and Modulation group boxes hidden.
