ROOM ACCESS
Access refers to individual instruments in their own lab spaces. See also Reservations. Access to the M&M Building after hours using keys or card swipe is handled separately. Contact Owen Mills for after-hours building access. Both the building and the lab spaces use the Michigan Tech ID card.

CARD SWIPE INSTRUCTIONS
Your account information must be stored in the computer prior to first use. Give the following information to one of the lab staff, who will place it in the system. Please give the staff sufficient time for this. You may submit information by email.
- Advisor's name and contact information
- Your department
- Your account number
- Have the staff add your account information in advance (one time only).
- Reserve the instrument as usual.
- On the instrument computer, place the cursor into the ID Card field of the logbook software.
- Swipe your Michigan Tech ID through the card reader. NOTE: Old Tech ID cards will not work, so please have your card replaced.
- A menu will appear that prompts you to select an account number and instrument to use for that session.
- After you select an account number, the timer will begin running and the instrument will be activated for use. NOTE: The instrument will not operate without the required information.
- A timer runs until you swipe again to end your session.
FAQs
Q: If I forget to swipe a second time, will I be charged for a running instrument?
A: YES!! Please take care to swipe out at the end of your session!
Q: How do I know the instrument is inactive until swiping?
A: The FESEM high voltage (beam) will be grayed out and unusable until you log in. Everything will look proper EXCEPT the icon will be gray and the HV will not come on.
On the TEM, the LEDs on the Autoramp device (Up/Down - Red/Green LEDs) will be off and the filament current will not increase until you log in.
For the 64000 SEM, the HV is disabled as indicated when ACCEL button will not light up when depressed.
For the FIB, the HV is disabled. If you select HV with the FIB software w/o logging in, a "High voltage leak detected" error appears and the HV will not be activated.
Q: When should I get added to the database?
A: Give the staff at least a day or so before your first use. They must verify your account number and enter the data manually.
