User ID from the drop down list and then enter their password. The Log In requirement is removed
when the check box is unchecked.
The Allow Lock Out check box controls the Running Viscosity Test Lock Out function. This
function is only available when User Login is required. When Allow Lock Out is checked, the
user may lock the DV3T during a test. The Lock Out is set by pressing the Lock Icon found in
the Navigation Bar of Running Viscosity Test. Any touch of the screen during the Lock Out will
show the user a Log In screen. No action can be taken on the DV3T until the proper password is
entered. Only the User ID that was in effect when the Lock Out was initiated can unlock the DV3T.
The test will continue to collect data during the Lock Out.
The Allow Timed Lock Out check box controls the automatic feature of Lock Out. Set the Timed
Lock Out time value from 1 – 99 minutes. The DV3T will Lock automatically (without touching the
Lock Icon) after the test is initiated (press Run) when the screen has not been touched for the time
specified. For example: Timed Lock Out is set to 1 minute; 30 seconds after the test has begun,
the operator reviews the test parameters by touching Views Test; the DV3T will lock automatically
1 minute after that key press (90 seconds after the test began running).
TIP: The Lock Out feature can be useful if the operator must leave the DV3T unattended during
a test.
The Lock Out After parameter defines how many failed Log In attempts are allowed before the User
ID is locked. The range for Lock Out After is 1 – 20. Once a User ID is locked, the administrator
must reset the password.
V.4.2 Users and Access
The DV3T can be set up with User accounts to restrict access and enhance data tracking. Two user
levels are available within the DV3T and each can be customized by the Administrator. All user
accounts require a password for access to the DV3T.
The User Settings are divided into four categories: General Settings, Data Access Functions,
Viscosity Test Setup and Yield Test Setup. Table V-1 shows the factory default user settings for
Power User and User. The administrator can customize both the Power User and User through the
Power User Level Access and User Level Access in the Users and Access Menu. Place a check
mark beside an attribute that is available to the user and remove the check mark from an attribute
that will be unavailable to the user.
TIP: Users and User Access settings can be exported to a Flash USB drive. This file can be
uploaded to another DV3T or DV3T to quickly duplicate User settings.
The User ID utilized at Log In will be reflected in a saved data set. This parameter is viewable in
the Results screen by selecting Device Info.
TIP: The User ID information is only visible once a data set is loaded from memory. An unsaved
data set will not show the User ID.
User accounts can be managed within the Users and Access menu through Edit Users, Add User
and Delete User.
