### AutoVISION Options

The AutoVISION Options dialog allows you to control AutoVISION's startup behavior and security settings. On the Startup tab, you can set the software to Auto Connect to a smart camera that you select from the dropdown menu, to Auto Load the most recent job, and to go directly to Run mode at startup. You can also password protect the user interface from the Security tab.

##### Startup

- Auto Connect to Device: When this option is selected, AutoVISION will connect to the selected device automatically the next time the software is opened.

- Auto Load Last Job: When this option is selected, AutoVISION will automatically load the most recent job the next time the software is opened.

- Go to Run Mode: When this option is selected, AutoVISION will skip the Connect, Image, and Edit steps and open in the Run view.

##### Security

- Enable Password Protection: Password protection is disabled by default. Selecting this option imposes four separate AutoVISION access levels: Operator, Supervisor, Engineer, and Administrator. Passwords can only be changed by an Administrator, and only an Administrator can return to the Security tab.

- Revert to Operator Mode After...: In Operator Mode, the user can monitor the Run view of AutoVISION, but cannot access other screens or change settings. When password protection is enabled, you can use this dropdown menu to specify a period of inactivity after which AutoVISION will revert to Operator Mode, which only allows access to the Run view.

##### User Access Levels

When password protection is enabled, AutoVISION provides four levels of access:

Operator: An Operator can monitor the Run view of AutoVISION, but cannot access other screens or change settings.

Supervisor: A Supervisor can switch to Edit mode and adjust ROI positions, retrain tools, change the selected device, save the current job, or load a different job. A Supervisor cannot modify the parameters of the current job or add or remove tools.

Engineer: An Engineer has full access to all settings and is only restricted from changing passwords.

Administrator: An Administrator has full access to all settings, and can change the passwords for all access levels.

##### Changing the Access Level

When password protection is enabled, AutoVISION will always start with the access level set to Operator, which blocks access to the Connect, Image, and Edit views. You can change the access level by clicking the icon shown below and entering as an Administrator.

Your current access level is always displayed in text below the icon. Click the icon to display the following dialog:

This dialog provides a button for each of the four access levels. The highlighted button shows the current access level. In the example above, the current access level is Operator.

To switch to any of the other three access levels, click the button of the desired access level and you will be asked for that access level’s password. To switch to Engineer, for example, click the Engineer… button. You will then see the password field:

Enter the password and click OK. If the password is correct, the access level is changed. If the password is incorrect, an error message is displayed and the access level remains unchanged.

The default passwords for the four access levels are:

- Operator: No password required.

- Supervisor: supervisor

- Engineer: engineer

- Administrator: administrator

Once you have entered the password for a particular level, you don’t need to enter a password to reduce your access level. For example, if you currently have Administrator access, you can click on the Engineer or Supervisor buttons and your access level will be reduced instantly. You only need to enter a password when you are increasing your access level.

##### Changing Passwords

You must be an Administrator to change the password of any access level. If you change your access level to Administrator, the Change Password… button at the bottom of the Select Your Security Access Level dialog will be enabled:

Clicking Change Password… brings up the Change Access Level Passwords dialog:

Click the button that corresponds to the access level whose password you wish to modify, and the Change the Password dialog will appear:

Click the Reset All to Default button on the Change Access Level Passwords dialog to return all passwords to default.
