Soft Lock

Apart from the main parameters Wavelength (or Frequency or Channel,
depending on the instrument/state), Power, and State (i.e. laser on or off),
there is only limited space on the 8163 and 8166 displays.
Further parameters and settings are only displayed if an 8164A/B
mainframe is used.
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
NOTE
command:
"LOCK 0|1, <password>".
Example: unlock the instrument using password "1234": lock 0,1234
