The Password ASCII String element enables password input using either a constant string or vector-based ASCII character storage. This element is designed for legacy applications requiring direct access to integer arrays or fixed password definitions.
The Link Type combo box property allows you to choose how the password is stored:
Const String: used for fixed passwords defined at design time.
Vector: used for storing or reading password values dynamically from a tag array.
