Internal Bluetooth and GPS
The 615 reader unit has been fitted with internal bluetooth and GPS.
Bluetooth
This method can be used to communicate to a PC. Calibration, real time and logged data
can be transmitted from the 615 to the PC and calibration constants from the PC to the
615.
To use bluetooth a bluetooth enabled PC can be used.
One off Pairing:
1.
Power on PC and ensure PC bluetooth is activated
2.
Power on 615 reader unit
3.
On PC, search for bluetooth devices – The device name is YK615_S### where
### is the serial number.
4.
Pair bluetooth device using pass code 0000.
Once paired it is possible to access the allocated bluetooth serial port by the YK Quick
Terminal software. For the specific communication port allocated by bluetooth please
check your bluetooth documentation.
It is generally possible to find the serial port assigned by going to the properties of the
bluetooth device and locating services.
As the communication port can be handled differently by different computers. On some
computers the communication port will need to be re-established if the 615 reader unit
is powered down and up again – this is possible by pressing the Open/Close Port button
in the software. If the reader unit is powered off, it is not possible to communicate with
bluetooth on the 615.
GPS
GPS co-ordinates appear on page 3 of the reader unit. They appear on screen, in stored
data and logged data.
The first time the GPS is used or if the GPS has not been used for a while it may take up
to 5 minutes for the satellites to lock in. On subsequent uses the GPS is quicker to get a
lock and position.
