Password protection is provided to guard against inadvertent parameter changes that may occur whenever the keys are pressed and a parameter modification is not intended. The password protection has three possible settings: DISABLED, LOCKED, and UNLOCKED. These settings can be modified with built-in user interface only (not Universal PST). Woodward...
