All X Series recorders support a fully featured and highly secure Password system.

The system allows for up to 50 fully independent users and once enabled ensures that the configuration and data of the instrument is fully protected.

An enhanced version of the Password system known as ESS is also available for Pharmaceutical applications that are required to conform to 21 CFR Part 11.

Peer to Peer Passwords

Peers button

For applications where multiple recorders are all on a network & using passwords, the X Series Peer to Peer Password facility will synchronize recorders password details automatically.

This will prevent the need to go to every recorder to update a Username or Password, and mean that when you have updated one recorder on the Peer network all the others will be updated automatically.
