Training documents are important, so you need to complete and upload a PDF for access.

All health science instruments will remain free for all users on the third floor. It is simply a record of what you used. Here, under status, you can see the various instruments in each room.

Step #28: Click on "Facility Status" — Click on "Facility Status"

For example, in each room, if someone is using it, you can always walk in and use an instrument. We highly recommend booking in advance. This makes it easier for everyone to use the different instruments. Catalog is mainly for the confocal room, where we have some consumables. It is not for the health sciences.

Kiosk mode is used when you are ready to start your session after booking it on the instrument.

Step #30: Click on "Kiosk Mode" — Click on "Kiosk Mode"

Step #34: Click on "KIOSK MODE" — Click on "KIOSK MODE"

In kiosk mode, enter your email and supervisor PIN.

Each supervisor has a four-digit PIN assigned to all students. You don't need to remember your password; just remember the PIN. Choose the room and equipment you want to use, then start the session.

Step #36: Click on "Select room / core" — Click on "Select room / core"

Step #38: Click on "Select equipment in CB5111" — Click on "Select equipment in CB5111"

This will turn on the instrument. If you do not start the session, you will not be able to use the instrument. This is made like this to adjust for... We have people from outside using the instruments, so we want to ensure that everyone using them is properly trained. That's the walkthrough for using the system for students.
