Login

A command for opening the respective Instrument. The Instrument window can also be opened by clicking directly on the Instrument’s picture in the main Clarity window or using a Ctrl + 1 shortcut (2, 3, 4 for further Instruments).

After selecting an Instrument to be opened Login Dialog is displayed. It always contains Select Project list, where a project can be selected or a new one can be created (pre-selcted project is based on desktop file). The other contents vary slightly based on the presence of user account and GLP settings done in GLP Options

If station has at least one user account, the Login Dialog contains the drop-down list where user account can be selected. Afterwards, the related password must be filled in to log in to the ClarityInstrument. User accounts that are permanently disabled are not displayed in the list. If the option Disallow user list in login dialog is enabled in GLP Options drop-down list is not present and both user name and password must be entered manually.

If the station has no user accounts configured, the login dialog only contains field to enter a name (no password field). The entered name will be saved in all files that you create or modify during your session.

In case Clarity command line parameters are used, it is possible to choose project offered through these parameters, either by directly selecting appropriate project or by selecting user with particular project in his desktop file.
