User Profiles With Password Protection - Proceq Equotip 3 Operating Instructions Manual

7.3. User profiles with password protection

7.3.1. Minimizing operating errors and enhancing efficiency
Super-users can define user profiles via "Config" – "User profiles". User profiles can be config-
ured to serve purposes such as:
• Sample-specific device settings: For different work pieces, the needs for hardness testing
may vary. For example, the hardness of soft and hard samples can require the use of
impact device G with conversion to HRB and impact device E with conversion to HRC, re
spectively. In this case, two user profiles "Soft steel" and "Hard steel" can be defined to
start up with the settings and restrictions that apply to the respective work pieces. This
permits a rapid change of settings at minimal risk for making mistakes.
• User-specific device settings: Two users who test in different surroundings can configure
their own preferences for how the data should be displayed on the screen (views bar
graph, basic mode etc.) and for display settings (backlight, contrast).
• Access restrictions: Password protection is an effective tool where it is important to trace
back test execution to particular users. Also access to confidential data can be restricted.
7.3.2. Example of a user profile
• User "Dietmar Leeb" has been given restricted access rights for measurements.
• On the one hand, Dietmar Leeb is permitted to adjust the setting of the impact direction
during the test. Also, Dietmar Leeb is free to take as many impacts per measurement series
as he believes is required to make a sound statement.
• On the other hand, Dietmar Leeb cannot change the settings for material and scale, as he
is assigned to only report the hardness of aluminium parts in Brinell. For these parts, also
the pass/fail limits are fixed.
