Note: The Connect cloud-based platform is not supported for HID analysis.
The words "connect" and "link" are used interchangeably in the software.
In one location you touch a Connect button, in another location you touch a Link
button.
Both actions do the same thing:
• Connect the instrument to the InstrumentConnect on the Connect cloud-based
platform and
• Link your local instrument profile to your Connect cloud-based platform account.
The first user who links the instrument to the Connect cloud-based platform is
automatically assigned the Connect platform administrator role for the instrument
(even if the user has a standard local profile).
Additional instrument administrators can be assigned, and user roles can be changed
after linking.
For more information, see "Connect cloud-based platform instrument profile roles
and functions" on page 47 and "Connect cloud-based platform administrators for an
instrument" on page 48.
