If the connection is lost the Pooltest 9 Bluetooth
will prompt for re-connection. If connection is not
required or possible press Exit to disable Bluetooth
and cancel the log transfer.
The message ‘Log transfer is complete’ will be
shown when all data points have been uploaded
successfully. Press OK to return to the previous menu.
Bluetooth Device ID
A number of Pooltest 9 Bluetooth instruments may
be available to connect to a remote device, although
only one active connection is possible at any time.
A user-defined Bluetooth Device ID ensures simple
pairing between the desired Pooltest 9 Bluetooth
and the Palintest Aqua Pal app.
Creating and/or editing Bluetooth Device ID is
identical to Operator and Sample ID creation.
5.5 USB Interface
The waterproof USB interface provides both
communication between the Pooltest 9
Bluetooth and a PC and an alternative mains
power source via the adaptor.
When connected the USB icon will appear, replacing
the battery icon in the Info Panel, as power will be
preferentially drawn from the external source.
The USB data interface has a choice of two
operating modes - Hard Drive and COM Port. The
current status of the USB connection is shown on
the Info panel when the USB lead is connected.
Toggle between COM Port and Hard Disk mode in the
System -> USB menu by selecting the desired option.
The USB connection supports software update and
data download through a simple ‘drag and drop’
approach when operated in Hard Disk mode.
Hard Drive
The instrument appears as a removable hard
drive when connected to a PC in Hard Disk mode.
Upon connection the remote drive will have the
following files included:
• Pooltest 9_***.afx.*** where *
represent version numbers of software -
this is the operating software for the
Pooltest 9 Bluetooth
• Log.txt - the data log file stored in a
comma separated value (csv) format
Operating software or calibration library can
be updated by dragging a new version to the
instrument - contact [email protected]
for new software if this option is required. Any
updates to operating software will be notified
via the www.palintest.com\know portal.
Downloading the result log is carried out by
dragging the LOG.txt to the local desktop and
opening the file with any program that can open
CSV format files.
For more information regarding extracting and
opening result logs using the Hard Disk mode
visit www.palintest.com/know.
COM Port
The instrument behaves as if connected to the PC
serial port via RS232 when connected in COM
Port mode, allowing remote control from an
external software system and data upload.
