Terms Used in this Manual

button Sometimes called a command button or push button, it provides a simple way

to trigger an event or interact with dialog boxes. A typical button is a round-rect

or rectangle, wider than it is tall, with a descriptive caption in its center. The

most common method of pressing a button is clicking it with a pointer controlled

by a mouse. A button is not always a rectangular shape. The sole requirement

of button interaction is that a command can be executed by a mousedown

action. Pictures and background areas can be programed as buttons.

desktop A desktop environment (sometimes desktop manager) offers a graphical user

interface (GUI) to the computer. A desktop typically provides icons, windows,

tool bars, folders, wallpapers, and abilities like drag and drop. The design and

function of a desktop environment usually endow it with a distinctive look and

feel.

GLP: Good Lab

Practice

Generally refers to a system of management controls for laboratories and

research organizations to ensure the consistency and reliability of results as

outlined in the OECD Principles of GLP and national regulations. GLP

embodies a set of principles that provides a framework within which laboratory

studies are planned, performed, monitored, recorded, reported and archived.

GLP helps assure regulatory authorities that the data submitted are a true

reflection of the results obtained during the study and can therefore be relied

upon when making risk/safety assessments.

icon An image, picture, or representation. A sign or likeness that stands for an object

by signifying or representing it.

menu: drop-down and

pull-down

A menu is a list of commands presented to an operator by a computer or

communications system. They are primarily shortcuts to frequently used

commands. A computer using a GUI presents menus with a combination of text

and symbols to represent choices. By clicking on one of the symbols, the

operator is selecting the instruction that the symbol represents. A context menu

is a menu in which the choices presented to the operator are automatically

modified according to the current context in which the operator is working. A

common use of menus is to provide convenient access to various operations

such as saving or opening a file, quitting a program, or manipulating data. Most

interfaces provide a pull-down or pop-up menu. Pull-down menus are

commonly used in menu bars (usually near the top of a window or screen),

which are most often used for performing actions; pop-up menus are more

likely to be used for setting a value, and might appear anywhere in a window.

pane A pane is a sectioned window on a graphical display. Examples of this usage

include a file browser with multiple panels.

screen A computer display monitor, usually referred to as a monitor.

tab A navigational method for switching between documents. Traditionally

designed as a text label within a rectangular box with its top borders rounded.

Activating a tab (usually by a mouse click) makes its associated document

visible and the tab itself usually becomes highlighted to distinguish it from other

inactive tabs. Generally, only one tab can be active at a time.

window A visual area, usually rectangular in shape, containing some kind of user

interface, displaying the output of and allowing input for one of a number of

simultaneously running computer processes. Windows are primarily associated

with graphical displays, where they can be manipulated with a pointer. A GUI

that includes windows is called a windowing system.

workstation A high-end desktop or deskside microcomputer designed for technical

applications. Workstations are intended primarily to be used by one person at a

time, although they can usually also be accessed remotely by other users when

necessary.

Cyber Security

Any device that is connected to a network (internally or externally) has the potential to be compromised by

unauthorized access or viruses. As with most devices, the iScan Coreo scanner is designed to run on a

computer utilizing Microsoft Windows and virus protection software which requires the validation and

implementation of the appropriate patches.

Some of the potential cyber security hazards are:

• Malicious software that alters the device software (such as viruses)

• Unauthorized access to the system that could compromise data safety

• Security of data transmitted over the internet

Cyber security involves protecting data by preventing, detecting, and responding to malicious cyber attacks.

Cyber attacks could involve computer viruses which can completely erase data or hackers who alter files or

even use the device as a host to attack other devices. As serious as these hazards are, steps can be taken to

maximize cyber security.

User Authorization

All iScan Coreo scanner users must login with a valid username and password. The username and password

are securely transmitted in encrypted form over the Internet or Intranet. Once a user has logged in, the user

remains active in the application until the user explicitly logs out, closes the browser (used with the Live

application), or because the application closes after a period of inactivity.
