ADC Auto Log Off Interval

We recently implemented Pyxis in our Emerg department. They're asking to extend the auto-log off interval for the critical care and trauma devices as the're finding they need to keep running back and forth with medications, (during code situations) and they need to log in each time. The crash trays aren't kept in Pyxis, but they're accessing Pyxis for things like ketamine, fentanyl, midazolam, etc. Currently, it's set to 60 seconds for all devices. Have any sites extended this interval beyond 60 seconds? Do any sites have it set to less than 60 seconds?

Thanks
