To improve security, you can require that a user log in to make changes to HMT140 parameters. If Passwords are enabled, a password prompt appears when a user clicks Update on the Setup tab. No other HMT140 functions will require a login password.

CAUTION Use of passwords in HMT140 is not recommended for use with Vaisala viewLinc software. Passwords may limit the ability of viewLinc to update settings or values in the device. For example, changes to a threshold alarm template in viewLinc may not transfer to HMT140 if passwords are required on the device.

Open HMT140 Utility.
