WORKSTATIONS: Since one logs-on with own user-credentials, the PPMS tracker work with your windows log-on. It is essential to sign-out after use!
MICROSCOPES / CYTOMETRY: On BIF equipment, we make use of shared local accounts. for this reason, the PPMS tracker here works with a 2-step log-on:
1. Firstly, one needs to first log-on to the microscope with the local BIF-user account, just as before.
2. Secondly, you needs to log-on with your own IST/PPMS credentials
3. Lastly, it is essential to Sign out from the computer after your slot! When not doing so, the tracker remains active. This is also required for the newly planned data-transfer infrastructure
