The “Enter Passkey” screen allows the Supervisor to enter any 7-character
combination of alphanumeric text as a passkey for this User. If the selected
User Name/Passkey have not been previously edited, the Supervisor’s Passkey
will be displayed. The Supervisor’s Passkey may be edited one character at a
time or, if the keypad is used to enter any number for the first character, the
passkey will clear except for the one entered number. Note: It is recommended
that, if at all possible, the Supervisor select a numeric passkey for this User, as
this will be the most convenient to enter for system access. The Passkey
is
case
sensitive. This is the passkey for this User. Repeat this process to enter name
and passkey information for other Users.

Timed Count
The Timed Count function allows a user to completely load and set up an
i
Matic
system as if samples would be counted immediately, but delay the start of counting
until a programmed start time. This feature is especially valuable when doing
calibrations. The system can be set up with appropriate calibration sources and
background samples, and then completely calibrated during off hours in the laboratory.
Since some calibration steps can be lengthy, for example background counts, off hour
calibration can give the user more work time for counting samples.
