Password Management - Tektronix KEITHLEY SourceMeter 2606B Reference Manual

Section 14: Instrument programming
Programming interaction
This part of the workspace is where you interact with the scripts that you are building in Test Script
Builder (TSB). The actual contents of the programming interaction area of the workspace can vary.
You can send commands from the Instrument Console command line, retrieve data, view variables
and errors, and view and set breakpoints when using the debug feature. For additional information,
refer to the online help that is accessible from Test Script Builder (TSB).

Password management

The 2606B has password capabilities that let you decide how to password protect the instrument.
Password protection prevents unauthorized access to any remote interface and reserves the
instrument exclusively for your use.
When password usage is enabled, you must supply a password to change the configuration or to
control an instrument from a remote command interface.
Setting the password from a command or web interface
The attribute localnode.passwordmode enables passwords and sets the mode. The password
mode identifies which interface to password protect.
Set this attribute to one of the values below to enable password checking:
•
localnode.PASSWORD_NONE or 0: Disable passwords everywhere
•
localnode.PASSWORD_WEB or 1: Use passwords on the web interface only
•
localnode.PASSWORD_LAN or 2: Use passwords on the web interface and all LAN interfaces
•
localnode.PASSWORD_ALL or 3: Use passwords on the web interface and all remote
command interfaces
When a password is set for the web interface, you cannot make changes using the web interface
options Virtual Front Panel, Flash Upgrade, or TSB Embedded.
The password lock feature on 2606B is similar to the lock feature on your computer.
You must assign a password to use this feature. Passwords can be up to 255 characters.
