Transmitting Results Wirelessly to

the Data Management System

Note 1:  Users must follow site specific guidelines for operating wireless devices.

Note 2:  Handheld must remain at leas

t 20 cm (approx. 8 inches) from the body (head and

torso) when the radio is on. The radio is on:

• whenever the handheld is transmitting,
• when an operator is using the Wireless Utility Menu, and
• during the 2 minutes following a test cycle.

Note 3:  All analyzers shipped beginning in 2015 contain 

Wireless Module FCC ID:

YOPGS1500M (Firmware: GEXPSX.X.X/MCUX.X)

, and the SNR value is not

available.  The SNR field will display “SNR: --dB.”

Users may transmit results wirelessly to the data management system:

• directly following an individual test cycle using the Test Options Menu , or 

• on-demand using the Transmit Data menu.

A.  To transmit data wirelessly from the handheld directly following a test cycle:

1.   When newly generated test results appear on the handheld display,

press           (Test Options).

2.  Press           (Transmit Data).  A “Waiting to Send” 

message will appear on the display screen.

Additionally, the “State” line toward the middle of the 
screen may display a series of messages as shown 
below, or indicate that it is connected.

•  Off:  wireless module is off

•  Booting:  loading software on wireless module

•  Joining:  attempting to join the network

•  Associated:  The module successfully joined the 

network, associated with an Access Point and 
has been granted permission to communicate 
to the network

•  Connected:  connected to the data manager

3.  Once the 

Connected

state is reached, a 

“Communication in Progress” message will appear 
at the top of the screen.  When this message 
disappears and the display returns to the 
Test Menu, the transmission is successful.

Note:

If there are unsent results remaining in the handheld 
at the completion of a transmission attempt, a 
“Communication Ended” message will appear on the 
handheld indicating how many unsent results are left.

B.  To transmit data wirelessly from the handheld 

on-demand using the Transmit Data menu: 

1.   Press the           key on the handheld.

2.  Press the           key. 

3.  Press          (Transmit Data).  Press a number key 

to select the data set you would like to transmit.

4.  A “Waiting to Send” message will appear on the 

display screen.

Additionally, the “State” line toward the middle of the 
screen may display a series of messages as shown 
below, or indicate that it is connected.

•  Off:  wireless module is off

•  Booting:  loading software on wireless module

•  Joining:  attempting to join the network

•  Associated: the module successfully joined the 

network, associated with an Access Point and 
has been granted permission to communicate 
to the network

•  Connected:  connected to the data manager 

5.  Once the 

Connected

state is reached, a 

“Communication in Progress” message will appear 
at the top of the screen.  When this message 
disappears and the display returns to the 
Administration Menu, the transmission is successful.

Note:

If there are unsent results remaining in the handheld 
at the completion of a transmission attempt, a 
“Communication Ended” message will appear on the 
handheld indicating how many unsent results are left.
