ATTENTION about Instrument Replacement
If you are replacing an instrument , please read Password when replacing an instrument below in this article.
Instrument password
Instruments can be configured with a password
By default, there is no password already set.
What it is used for ?
The instrument uses this password as a key to encode the data inside the instrument memory to protect your privacy in case it gets lost or stolen. It prevents anyone, with a Manager application on his PC, from reading your data.
Then why is it asking for a password now ?
The instrument password is stored inside the instrument.
You may not remember when you put one in, but if it is asking for a password, it means it was set up by you.
Whenever you add an instrument to the Manager, you need to match the password inside the instrument to be able to read any information from it.
The old Manager 1.2 never asked for it !
In fact, Manager 1.2 had a checkmark to tell it not to ask again . If it was not asking, you had checked the setting.
Manager 2.0 doesn't know what the password is in the instrument.
LOST INSTRUMENT PASSWORD, I don't remember the password !
If you need a password restore, you need to open a support ticket.
Please read more on how to restore your instrument password here.
WARNING
If you decide to change the password instead of restoring it, This will delete all data stored inside the instrument.
PASSWORD WHEN REPLACING AN INSTRUMENT
When replacing your instrument, if you had an old instrument with an internal password configuration, the Manager may ask you for the password of the new instrument.
If no password is set, the Manager expects the password to be the serial number of the instrument.
If this is a brand new instrument, enter the 16-digit serial number of the NEW INSTRUMENT (capital letters and no spaces TL100001xxxxxxxx).
When an instrument is configured with the serial number as the password, the system will later consider it to be password-free. The Manager will not ask for a password anymore if it is used on a different computer.
Note about Instrument Passwords:
It is no longer necessary to add a password to the instrument since no one can download the data without an account that contains your instrument. It is therefore not recommended to enter a password since version 2.0

Manager 2.0 application User Password
This is the user and password used to open the Manager 2.0 application and is also used to connect the application to the TripLogik Map server.
Types of users
There are 2 levels of users in the Manager
- Administrator
- Local user
Administrator
The admin user is the owner of the Triplogik Map account
This account is also a local user to whom you can assign an instrument.
If you only have one instrument in the Manager, you are by default the admin.
There is no need to create a local user if you only have one instrument.
