When using Nu-Link or Nu-Link Pro to do Offline Programming, what protection mechanisms are available for written files?  Issue Date:2016-12-20

The options “Use Password for Offline Programming” and “Limit the Number of Offline Programming” are provided. Using Password can protect the file written to the offline Flash from being read. Limiting the number of offline programming can prevent private programming.
Follow the steps below to enable the options:
