insignificance. Protected mode is suitable for the programming of a large amount of the same 
type of devices. 
Protected mode function is available independently in single programming control software 
PG4UW and in multiprogramming control software PG4UWMC. 
Protected mode in PG4UW 
There are two ways how to switch program to Protected mode: 
1. by using menu command Options / Protected mode. This command displays password 
dialog. User has to enter password twice to confirm the password is correct. After 
password confirmation program switches to Protected mode. The entered password is 
then used to switch off Protected mode. 
2. by reading project, that was previously saved in Protected mode. For details see File / 
Save project. 
Checkbox  Keep "Load project" operation allowed is set to inactive state by default - it 
means the Load project operation button and menu will be disabled when Protected mode is 
active. 
If the option is enabled (checked), the Load project operation button and menu will be allowed 
in Protected mode. 
Checkbox Disable view/edit buffer is set to inactive state by default - it means the View/Edit 
buffer button and menu will be enabled when Protected mode is active. This allows you and 
others to view content of buffer, but not edit (due to active Protected mode). 
Activate this option, if you wish to disable also viewing of buffer content in Protected mode. In 
this case, we recommend to activate also option Encrypt project file (with password). For 
details see File / Save project. 
Select operation mode for protected mode 
Options "Multi operation" mode - represents basic form of protected mode, where all 
available device operations (blank, verify, program, erase) are enabled, except read. This 
provides certainty, that operator cannot modify buffer data by accidental or intentional read 
operation. It's useful when you want to have all supported device operations enabled in one 
project (multi-project). 
Options  "One operation" mode - represents enhanced form of protected mode, where 
only one operation from all available is enabled. Provides better certainty, because 
prevents operator from executing wrong type of device operation. 
By building more projects saved in "One operation" mode using Multi-project Wizard you 
can put together also non-standard flow of device operations of control SW (e.g. Program + 
Verify + Verify + Verify). Please, see examples of use and differences between operation 
modes. 
To switch program from Protected mode to Normal mode, use the menu command Options 
/ Normal mode. The ”Password required" dialog appears. User has to enter the same 
password as the password entered during switch to Protected mode. 
Other way to cancel Protected mode of program is closing of program. Next time the 
program starts in Normal (standard) mode (the only exception is case of project loaded by 
command line parameter with name of project which was saved in Protected mode).
