Lockout: <WHOLE NUMBER ( 0 2 )> Security feature: Restricts ability to perform changes and/or provide input to the regulator which can impact how the Alternator charges the battery. BE CAREFUL: Once lockout is enabled (value other then 0), it can ONLY be cleared by doing a master reset, or returning the device to the factory for resetting. No other command, not even $MSR: (unless given the password) will be able to clear a non-zero lockout. Be especially careful with lockout=2, as the ONLY way to recover the regulator from this state will require returning the device to the factory.
0 = No locking out.
1 = Prevent any configuration changes.
2 = Prevent any configuration changes – may NOT be cleared via $MSR method. Redacted in v2.4.3,
option 2 behaves the same as option 1.
To clear a Lockout level 1, issue the $MSR: command with the devices password (See $SCN command). A level 2 lockout is not clearable and the regulator will need to be returned to the factor for servicing.
Feature-IN:
<WHOLE NUMBER ( 0 2 )> Modifies the behaviors of the Feature-in port according to the
following table. Applying a modifier will override any other default behavior.

Function of Feature-IN will be inverted. Active will allow normal operation; while inactive will force the regulator into FLOAT mode. For use only with CPE #8, otherwise this option has no effect. If Feature-in is not active, regulator will be placed into Half-power mode (See $SCA command above).
