Figure 1. Main Screen

3.1 Menu Option

The “Menu” has three options: “File,” “Tools,” and “Help.”

File - Selections under “File” include:

• “Exit:” terminates the Ecolab Badge Programming POD program.

Tools - Selections under “Tools” include:

• “Set Badge State:” sets the hand hygiene state for the Badge or Badges being programmed. (For

testing only)

• “POD Mode:” used to switch the POD between “Short Range” and “Long Range” modes. “Short

Range” mode is useful when you want to limit the Badges scanned by the POD to only those that are
close to it (within ~12”). “Long Range” mode is useful when you are scanning larger numbers of
Badges, which might be located further from the POD (up to 36").

• “Enter API Key:” used to enter a new API key and Hospital code (provided by Ecolab), allowing the

Application to communicate with the Dashboard and retrieve or save the information associated
with a Badge. You will be automatically prompted to enter the API Key upon initial set up of the
POD. The POD will remember your API key after the initial set up.

• “Connect to Dashboard:” used to reconnect to the Dashboard if communications are lost for any

reason.

Help - Selections under “Help” include:

“About” which gives information about the application and the Badge Configuration POD version.
