The Save Instrument option opens the Save Instrument window. The
Save Instrument window permits you to save all current instrument
information for any selected instrument, including Instrument Settings,
Tray Settings and Sample settings, to the database. Once saved, the
instrument information may be restored at any time using the Restore
options from the View Instrument window.
To use the Save Instrument window, select the desired instrument by
clicking on the instrument name in the Available Instruments list box.
Then enter a name for the configuration in the Save As: field.
NOTE If you wish, you may choose to overwrite an existing configuration with
current settings by clicking on the name of the existing configuration in
the Configuration list box. The Configuration name will be transferred to
the Save As: field.
Click OK to store the new configuration. To exit the Save Instrument
window without saving the configuration, click Cancel.
The Poll for Instruments option queries the hardware interface to
establish communications with CANNON
® instruments attached to the
host computer.
Use the Poll for Instruments option to establish a computer connection
with instruments which may have come “on line” after the software has
been in operation. When the connection has been verified by the control-
ling software via the hardware interface, the instrument name will be
added to the status bar at the bottom of the VISCPRO
® window.
Security options
The VISCPRO ® application offers a level-based security system with a
log in procedure. This system ensures that available software functions
are appropriate for the security level of the user.
Initial security settings will be completed during CMRV installation.
Following installation, security options may be accessed and changed from
the VISCPRO
® Main menu by individuals who have the manager password.
Each user can be assigned a security level, which is used to determine
permitted operations. Three security levels are defined by the software:
Technician (least privileged), Manager (intermediate privilege), and
Service (maximum privilege–reserved for CANNON
® Instrument
Company service personnel).
Users log in when using the software by typing their name and (optional)
password using the Log In window. Different security levels offer
different CMRV use options. Technicians are permitted to access opera-
tional features required for testing samples and performing other routine
operations. Managers may access advanced configuration and reporting
options. The Service level permits access to all instrument and security
parameters.
