2.2 Entering the operator ID
How and when an operator ID is entered and if a pass-
word is required, depends on the configuration of the
system. It is also, for example, possible to require the
operator ID only when starting control tests. In general,
the system can manage and check operator IDs as well
as make additional functions ID-dependent.
If an operator name matching the entered operator ID is
available on the meter, this name will be displayed in the
Main Menu (shown here as “Maria S.”).
There are a number of options for entering operator IDs
and these depend on the configuration of the system:
■ Via barcode scanner
1
only
■ Manually or optionally via barcode scanner
1. A list of supported barcode symbologies can be found in
Appendix A.2.
Operator IDs can consist of up to 20 alphanumeric
characters.
Alphanumeric characters are any combination of
A - Z and 0 - 9, additionally “.” (period), or “-”
(hyphen) may be used. See also page 40.
Barcode masking can be used to eliminate any char-
acters not belonging to the Operator ID. See informa-
tion on “Operator and patient ID barcode masks” on
page 172.
