Bluetooth connection
Make sure that Bluetooth is enabled on the PC. Go to
Control Panel
and open
Devices and
Printers
. Select
Add a device
. The Bluetooth devices within the range of the computer should
appear in the list.
Enabled ProMove-mini Nodes should appear in the list. Double-click on the device, or click
Pair
, to connect to it. When asked to compare pass-codes, select
Yes
and click
Next
to con-
tinue. Next,
press the on/off button of the ProMove-mini Node once
in order to complete
the pairing.
If a secure connection is established, a serial port will be assigned to the Bluetooth device. The
device will appear in Inertia Studio, as described in Section 4.2. The serial port number can be
obtained as described in Section 7.1.
Generally, Bluetooth devices remain available until they are unpaired in the operating system.

Slow signals in Inertia Studio
When using multiple nodes, it is possible that the signals in Inertia Studio are displayed slower,
and the software may start to lag. This is likely to be caused by drawing the plots, which is quite
CPU-intensive. The following options are available to increase the performance.
7.3.1
Lowering the plot update speed
The
Update Speed
of the signals in Inertia Studio can be lowered and the averaging for the
Down Sampling
can be increased, as described in Section 4.11.2 and Section 4.11.3.
7.3.2
Reducing the number of plots or nodes
The layout wizard can be used the decrease the number of shown plots (see Section 4.11.1).
Decreasing the number of plots lowers the load on the CPU. Reducing the number of nodes
that are plotted at once (see Figure 4.1.1) can also improve performance.
7.3.3
Enabling hardware acceleration and multi-threaded rendering
Enabling hardware acceleration (see Section 4.11.3) will, in general, improve the performance
by delegating some of the calculations to the GPU. Using multiple threads to render the plots
reduces the load of the main thread and improves responsiveness of the user interface.
