Operator Interface

Besides the typical GUI data display and operator interface screens, the ComETS test system has many utilities the operator can use to monitor the test sequence, view progress and error logs, plot real time and post event data, etc.

ComETS has a utility to allow the system administrator to control the Operator login names, passwords and access levels. 

There are access levels for:

•  Administrator
  • Create Accounts
  • Set access levels
  • Set passwords
•  Designer
  • Create data displays
  • Product option lists
•  Maintenance
  • Calibration
  • Diagnostics
•  Engine Test
  • Run a test
  • Exit (allow exit)
  • Manual Mode (allow Manual Mode access)
  • Set Outputs (allow operator to affect output pre-setup in the Data Display)

Operator and User Login Security

•  A default "startup login" can be configured to allow a specific level of access at startup.
  • Example - Setting the startup login to admin effectively removes the access level functionality for locations that do not want to be hassled by operator logins.
  • Example - Setting the startup login permission to "login" only forces a user to always login in order to use the test system.
•  Private accounts.  Private accounts will not show up in the login dialog.
  • Pressing the F8 Function Key will allow the operator login and logout
  • For system security the Menu function availability and in-place editing is disabled if the access level for the current user is incorrect.
