36 Chapter 1 Getting Started
Working with user profiles
The 882 provides user profiles that enable you to quickly load pre-defined configurations.
This can be done either through the front panel, virtual front panel or the command line.
For example, you can create different profiles for each operator, production line, display
type under test, and so on.
A user profile is always active on the 882 (“User1” is the default profile). While active, the
882 tracks subsequent format and format options, format catalogs, interface, and content
selections made by the user. These configuration settings are saved to the active profile
when a different user profile is chosen on the 882.
To choose a user profile:
1. Press the Source and Content keys simultaneously (or press USER on the Virtual
Front Panel) to access the list of user profiles.
The following is an example of a set of user profiles that might appear on the 882’s
display. Note that User1 is active, which is indicated by the = sign.

2. Choose another user by pressing the adjacent soft key. For example, to change to
User5, press the soft key adjacent to User5. This will save the configuration settings for
User1 and select the profile for User5. Any subsequent configuration changes will
apply to User5.
Alternatively, to switch users using the command line interface, enter the following
command:
USRU username.xml
For example, to select User5, enter
USRU User5.xml
To query the current user, enter
USRU?
The 882 returns the current user name.
/tffs0/Library/Users/User5.xml
To create a new user profile:
The procedure for setting up a new user profile is accomplished using the command line
interface.
