8.1 Preparations
Make sure that your smartphone/tablet meets the following system
requirements:
•
Operating system: iOS 8 or newer
•
Operating system: Android 4.3 or newer
•
Bluetooth 4.0 LE or newer
Download the VEGA Tools app from the "
Apple App Store
", "
Goog-
le Play Store
" or "
Baidu Store
" to your smartphone or tablet.
8.2 Connecting
Start the VEGA Tools app and select the function "Setup". The smart-
phone/tablet searches automatically for Bluetooth-capable instru-
ments in the area.
The devices found are listed and the search is automatically contin-
ued.
Select the requested instrument in the device list.
The message "
Connecting …
" is displayed.
When establishing the connection for the first time, the operating tool
and the controller must authenticate each other. After the first correct
authentication, each subsequent connection is made without a new
authentication query.
For authentication, enter the 6-digit Bluetooth access code in the
next menu window. You can find the code on the outside of the device
housing and on the information sheet "
Pins and Codes
" in the device
packaging.
Note:
If an incorrect code is entered, the code can only be entered again
after a delay time. This time gets longer after each incorrect entry.
The message "
Waiting for authentication
" is displayed on the smart-
phone/tablet.
After connection, the adjustment menu is displayed on the respective
adjustment tool.
If the Bluetooth connection is interrupted, e.g. due to a too large
distance between the two devices, this is displayed on the adjustment
tool. The message disappears when the connection is restored.
