Specifying Operator IDs and/or Personal Identification Numbers
The Operator Table allows the supervisor to enter a name for each operator and then specify an Operator ID
(OID), Personal Identification Number (PIN), and/or certification expiration date for each operator (or a group
of operators). The supervisor can then specify in the Instrument Options dialog box (see page 55) whether
entry of an OID or PIN that is included on the Operator Table is required before the instrument can be operated.

1.

Click Operator Table on the Configuration Module dialog box (page 53) to display the Operator
Table dialog box:

2.

(Optional) Enter the name of each operator.

Note: The operator’s name is for reference only. It is not stored in the instrument.

3.

Enter or scan an Operator ID (up to 16 alphanumeric characters) for each operator.

Note: OIDs may be scanned using the barcode scanner through the Supervisor menu and
uploaded to Configuration Manager.
Note: If OIDs will be entered using the instrument keypad, OIDs should contain only those letters,
numerals, and/or characters that can be entered using the 0 through 9 keys on the keypad.
Note: An OID that is not included in the Operator Table will not be allowed to run a test if Valid
OID Required is selected in the Instrument Options dialog box (see page 55). If OID Required
is selected, any OID can be entered when running a test.

4.

(Optional) Enter a numeric PIN (up to 9 digits) for each operator. The PIN can be any number other
than zero (0).

Note: A unique PIN can be assigned for each authorized operator, or a single OID and PIN can
be used to allow operation by any operator that enters the correct code.

5.

(Optional) Specify an expiration date for certification of an operator by entering a check mark in the
Expires box for that operator and then selecting the expiration date from the pop-up calendar.

Note: An operator with expired certification will not be allowed to run a test if Valid OID
Required is selected in the Instrument Options dialog box (see page 55). If OID Required is
selected, any OID can be entered when running a test.
