UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION

Do not use the kernel for normal Plant SCADA operation. The kernel is only for diagnostics and debugging purposes.
Configure your security so that only approved personnel can view or use the kernel.
Do not view or use the kernel unless you are an expert user of Plant SCADA and Cicode, or are under the direct guidance of Technical Support for this product.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
