Tech/Engineering - Computers (general)
German term or phrase: Teilnehmer
Sondenbetreiber mit eigenem Auswertungssystem werden bei auftretenden Problemen vom System informiert und können die umfangreichen Hilfsmittel des Systems bei den Analysen von Problem nutzen. Eine übersichtliche Darstellung des aktuellen Zustandes des eigenen Systems und ein aufschlussreiches Reportingsystem stellen die Basis für einen zuverlässigen Netzbetrieb dar.
Ist das eigene System Bestandteil eines zentralen Auswertungssystems, werden Probleme bei einem Teilnehmer rechtzeitig weitergegeben, so dass alle frühzeitig Gegenmaßnahmen ergreifen können.

neutral  rjbemben: While "participant" may be better in this context, there are many contexts where "user" is appropriate for "Teilnehmer". Countless times I've used "participant" for "Teilnehmer" and the results sound "translated". Thanks for mentioning thi alternative!
