3.3 Advanced Settings /
Passcode
The IQ Express Dock may be set to verify a
specific 4-digit passcode (PIN) in any
instrument that interfaces with the dock. If
the dock detects a PIN in the instrument that
matches its own PIN, it will process the
instrument. If the dock fails to detect a PIN,
or recognizes a non-matching PIN, it will not
process the instrument.
To use the passcode feature a PIN must be
entered into the IQ Express Software and
then uploaded to every instrument that will
interface with the dock. Each dock must
then be programmed with the same PIN and
set to check for the code in the instruments.
1. Verify that the ToxiPro and ToxiLtd

to the instrument. Connect the dock to

dock will be used to update the
instruments, perform steps 4-10 for
each dock.
