• System Preferences/Language & Text/Language Changes take place when you restart the DMT. If the DMT does not have a particular translation, it will default to English. If you want to help to localize DMT for additional language support, please drop us an email at dmt.support@serstech.com...
“partitions”. 2.3 DMT Registration The first time you start the DMT v3.2 application, you may be asked to fill in a simple registration screen. Please note that there are no separate licensing fees for the DMT software, but the information collected is only to be used to register your license and thereby grant access to the DMT support service.
2.4 User Access Control The Serstech 100 Indicator running firmware 3.2.x or later has a built-in User Access Control system through which each user is given their own unique user privileges specifying what functions that user is allowed to perform.
The desired function is selected by clicking on the respective “buttons” on the screen. Please note: Certain “buttons” may be “dimmed” as you may not have the permission to access this function DMT v3.2 DMT v3.2 User Manual A-1 Page 9 (55) Open Distribution 2015-10-13...
• The Serstech 100 Indicator can perform 5 different types of measurements, thus the screen layout varies slightly depending on the type of measurement analysed. In addition, there is a possibility to review archived measurements stored on external media (such as your computer’s hard drive).

Please note: DMT supports analysing measurements done with earlier firmware releases when such files are found on external storage (such as your computer’s hard drive). These files may however not contain all the parameters supported from firmware 3.2.x onwards. In such cases, these fields are left blank or the buttons may be dimmed.

Password: Numerical, must be 4 digits (i.e. 0000-9999). If no password is entered, the application assumes “0000”.
7.4 User Profiles & Privileges The Serstech 100 indicator supports a flexible method to define various user profiles (in DMT called “User Types”). This allows you to give each user specific user privileges that define what functions they are authorized to do, both on the instrument and by using the DMT software.

The Log Analysis function has two “tabs” to choose from. 8.1 DMT Log The “DMT Log” tab shown above will display the DMT log file, which keeps records of all activities done with the DMT that results in any alterations to any data on the instrument. Please note that using DMT simply to view information will not result in any log entries.
8.2 Instrument Log The “Instrument Log” tab (above) will display the internal log file from the attached Serstech 100 Indicator. This log keeps records of all activities done on the instrument itself. The following options are available: “Export to CSV”, this will open up a file browser window from which you can select a location •...
