hI GUYS , i am trying to set the data eeprom internal to be able to externally read , but not externally write , however it appears that by setting the CPD bit stops external writes and reads

setting the WRTD bit stops internal and external writes

if i reading the setting correctly the WRTD bit would stop any writes by the internal program to the eeprom and i dont want that so settng this bit would not help solve the read only external , no writes external ?
