EMTP provides the option to protect a subcircuit using a user password. When a device is given password protection then it becomes necessary to enter the password when accessing the device from a library, accessing its contents or trying to edit its symbol. When the user enters the password once on a given computer then EMTPWorks remembers the unlocking of the device for the following sessions.
1. Create your subcircuit (see Create a subcircuit ).
2. Once it is created, right-click on the subcircuit and select Edit Symbol.
