Rad Pro: Lock feature request

[Memorandlum]

I like the easy and fast use of Radpro but at the moment, that leads to a serious disadvantage, You musn't(!!!) use it for dosimetry if you enter a highly radioactive zone like Tschernobyl. (at the moment..... really unthinkable!)

The device's physical design doesn't prevent you from switching it off or resetting collected data accidentically. If that happens, your health and life will be in danger, seriously. Dataloss by fault or accident should never be possible during dosimetry situations!

There should be a "lock" in the config-menu or a "Dosimetry" point, where you can lock(prevent) Data from beeing deleted for:
"History", "Instaneous", "Average", "Cumulative" (default on) and the "Power-off-Switch"
The Power-Switch should get a doubled safed lock because when the device is off, you dont´t get an alarms.
(By the way, Sound is broken (klicks/beeps) after an alarm had occured.)
And when the longpress-delete-funktion ist obsolet, you have a new key for four new functions at the four present screens. ;-)

just a passing 2cent comment but if your life depends on it at military or nuclear disaster zones maybe buy a professional device..... no one sensible is using a cheap, uncalibarated device to protect their life at that level of risk. it's a basic device for rough readings or simple indication of some present risk, i'd even argue that some occasional hospital use would be ok.
imo spend the money if it matters.

[Memorandlum]

Well, if nothing matters there's no reason to get too excited, too.
I think there are only little changes needed to be done to get a better result and a more useful device.
Maybe a hint in the Radon Statistics-menu "Radon rev. X.xx" and this github-side because the startup screen
disappears after about 2cent milliseconds. Well criticism should always to be gladly seen, to criticize isn't. ;-)

A simple "lock" state for the device that can be turned on or off by a specific key combination would probably solve this "issue", right?
I'm agreeing with @gc01noob, because this is not a professional device in any shape or form. I don't think this is a large safety risk or an issue, but more of a "nice to have".

Thanks for your comments. Converted to discussion as this is a feature request, not an issue.

One more thing: on your Bosean FS-5000, do you get to see display glitches as reported here: #163?

[NuclearPhoenixx]

I don't get this on my FS-5000. It's just fine for me, both on start-up and in the main screen.

[TheAsgard]

Mine is fine too.

Thanks for your responses, that helped a lot!
