FL Imaging System keeps settings in memory for each user ID, so multiple
users can work with the same instrument without having to reset their preferences.
To use this feature, set up a user profile for each regular user. You may also assign
user IDs for experiments in progress.
Note:
User profiles are not password protected. All users should verify
they are logged in correctly to avoid changing others’ settings.
