protected, the following functions are not available from the affected channel:
• change mode
• force
• open/close a file
• set program owner
• clear memory
• downloading
• writing user data or user program
• channel configuration
Channel protection is selectable using the channel configuration menus. Both
channels should have their protection cleared prior to enabling channel protection.
Do not apply protection to the channel you ar e curr ently communicating
through unless you: 1) never intend to alter the program again, or 2) can
establish communications using the other channel.
Channel protection is permanent.
