TamperLock mode
What it does
TamperLock mode locks a source or meter so they can only be turned on an off, and a reference taken.
For example:
A source and meter can both be set "permanently" to a required λ and dB mode for loss testing.
A power meter only can be set to a required λ and dBm for transmission power testing.
A source can be set to a particular tone & λ for use with a fiber identifier.
The mode can be exited if needed, for example if it is found to be incorrect while deployed on a different job.
To prevent tampering, it's status can be tracked by a unique user PIN code.
