5 Operating the Instrument
5.1 Log on/off and User Management
When delivered, the instrument is freely accessible
without password. Three user accounts are factory
preset. For the "administrator" user, the auto logon
function is activated.
TIP: It is recommended to replace the default pass-
words when setting the instrument into operation.
The menu tree (appendix C) shows the different lev-
els of factory default user group rights. You cannot
edit or delete default user groups.
Log on/off
1. Tap the user indicator (see Fig. 12) on the right
side of the main screen’s header.
2. Select your "User name", enter your "Pass-
word", and tap <OK>.
To log off, tap on the user indicator. Tap <Log off>
in the logon dialog.
-
If no user has auto logon rights, the user indi-
cator changes its appearance to:
-
The instrument finishes the current measure-
ment or measurement series, but does not
accept any input until someone successfully
logs on.
-
If a user has auto logon rights, this user is
automatically logged on.
User accounts
1. Tap <Menu> and select "
Setup > User Manage-
ment > User Administration
".
2. Tap <New> to create a new user account or tap
an existing user name to edit this user account.
3. Specify the following settings:
-
User name, User group, password (optional)
-
Activate/deactivate the user account
-
Activate/deactivate the "Auto logon"
You need administrator rights to create, edit, or de-
lete user accounts. Maximum: 1000 user accounts
TIP: A user with a deactivated account cannot log
on until the account is activated again. Users with-
out administrator rights can only change their own
password.
Naming and password rules
User names are not case sensitive. They must be at
least one character long and can contain only char-
acters from the ASCII table (letters, numbers and
most special characters).
If you do not set a password, users can log on by se-
lecting their user name from the user list.
Passwords must consist of at least one character
and contain only characters from the ASCII table
(letters, numbers and most special characters).
Passwords are case sensitive, i.e. "Anton Paar" and
"anton paar" are treated as different entries.
Custom user groups
Tap <Menu> and select "
Setup > User Management
> User Group Administration
".
Create new user groups by copying existing ones
(based on the default user groups "manager" or "op-
erator"). For custom user groups, grant access
rights to the instrument’s functions as needed.
Functions, for which access is customizable, in-
clude menu entries, the operating elements on the
main screen, and additional entries, e.g. data export
via LIMS Bridge.
You can export a summary of a user group’s rights
as .csv file (table format).
