Locking keyboard functions

Switch on +

CONFIG

Certain domains of the user dialog can be made inac-

cessible to the novice user by locking particular keys.

For example, the inadvertent overwriting of a method or

even the changing of parameters can be prevented in

this way.
The menu

'>keyboard options'

for the corresponding

functions is opened by holding down the <CONFIG>

key while switching on the 788 IC Filtration Sample

Processor. Alternatively, a reset can be executed by

pressing <CLEAR> and then the <CONFIG> key

within 0.4 seconds. This menu is also accessible when

the entire keyboard has been locked
The individual key domains that can be locked are the

following:

>keyboard options
lock keyboard: OFF

ON,OFF

Locking the entire keyboard

If, during routine use, only one particular method is to

be used, it may be desirable to block manual manipula-

tions on the 788 IC Filtration Sample Processor. Almost

all the keys on the keyboard can be locked for this pur-

pose. The <START>, <STOP> and <CLEAR/RESET>

keys however, remain operable so that it is still possible

to start and stop a method. This can also be beneficial

when using the 788 IC Filtration Sample Processor with

a PC software (e.g. «IC Net»). For this application the

keyboard may be disconnected.

>keyboard options

ON,OFF

Locking <CONFIG> key

The basic configuration of the changer can be pro-

tected from overwriting. All settings of the configuration

menu are no longer accessible at this point.

>keyboard options
lock parameters: OFF

ON,OFF

Locking <PARAM> key

If user methods are generally used, it might be wise to

protect the stored method parameters from alteration.

The parameter menu can then be made inaccessible.
