About Exclusive Control and the Handset
The Model 494.05 Handset is a portable device that provides station control. It is
typically used to facilitate specimen installation, and because it is mobile, it is
more convenient to use in close proximity to the specimen than the PC interface.
Note When you open a station that includes a handset, neither the handset
nor the Station Manager application has exclusive control.
Using exclusive control
at the Operator access
level
Your access to Station Manager application controls is determined by your access
level, which is password protected. Access levels include Operator, Tuning,
Calibration, and Configuration.
By default, you can assign exclusive control to the handset only when the access
level is set to Operator. This prevents anyone from making tuning or calibration
adjustments while the handset has exclusive control because those adjustments
require Tuning and Calibration access levels.
Access Level control set
to Operator. By default,
this is the level required
to assign exclusive
control to the handset.
Exclusive Control selector
for the Handset interface
enabled. When the handset
has exclusive control, an
asterisk (*) is displayed
before the display page
code. In this example, the
display page is Manual
Command, shown as “*MC.”
Exclusive Control selector
for the Station Manager
application interface is
disabled when the handset is
assigned exclusive control.
It is also disabled when you
open Station Manager
application, as neither the
handset nor the PC interface
is assigned exclusive control
by default.
