A pop-up to log in to BookitLab should appear.  If it does not appear, try opening Zen or the software used to control the instrument you are logging into. When it appears it should populate your research group and user id, if not choose them from the drop down menus.

Choose "Activate Service" and Zen will boot. You won't start getting billed until you choose "Activate Service." You should be able to use the microscope as usual.

One you are done, close Zen and instead of logging of via Windows, choose "Log Off" from the BookitLab menu.  This will end your billable session and log you off from the PC.
