User profiles

Purpose

The User Profiles functionality enables multiple users and groups to work with the software using customized settings and preferences.

You need to select a profile before you can start using Microlucida.

User Profiles is not a login or validation feature.

Background

Lab managers can use User Profiles to create, change, or remove user profiles. Each user profile is unique, but profiles can have the same program settings. For example, administrators can configure profiles with lenses, cameras, and other equipment used in their labs.

Profiles contain the following user information:

  • Microlucida. ini file—information the program needs to operate, including the settings and preferences you use.Microlucida. len—lens information and settings

  • Microlucida. UI—information on which toolbars you have on display and which windows, such as the Serial Section Manager, are open and where they are placed

  • any configuration and data backup files

If you are upgrading from an earlier release, you can use your existing Microlucida. ini and Microlucida. len files.
