Specifying Operator IDs and/or Personal Identification Numbers
The Operator Table allows the supervisor to specify an Operator ID (OID) and/or Personal Identification
Numbers (PINs) for each operator or a group of operators. The supervisor can then specify whether entry of
a specified OID or PIN is required before the instrument can be operated.
1.
Select Operator Table from the Configuration Module screen. The Operator Table dialog box is
displayed:
2.
Enter a numeric ID for each operator. The ID can be any number (up to 9 digits) other than
zero (0).
3.
Enter a numeric PIN for each operator. The PIN can be any number (up to 9 digits) 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.
4.
The Status box will display the OID/PIN requirements set under Instrument Options. These
options are all mutually exclusive.
5.
Click Save & Exit to save changes to the Operator Table and exit the dialog box.
