Displays the Kernel window and prompts the user to login as the 'kernel' user. A corresponding 'kernel' user must have already been defined in the project. Kernel access should be restricted to authorised personnel only as once they are in the Kernel, they can execute any Cicode function without further privilege restrictions and therefore have total control of Citect SCADA (and subsequently the plant and equipment). Please be aware that you can also open the Kernel by setting the Citect [Debug]Menu parameter to 1 and, when your system is running, selecting Kernel from the control-menu box.
Note: You should be experienced with Citect SCADA and Cicode before attempting to use the Kernel as these facilities are powerful, and if used incorrectly, can corrupt your system.
Note: You should only use the Kernel for diagnostics and debugging purposes,
and not for normal Citect SCADA operation.
