3.0 Mini – GlobiLab Communication
3.1 USB Connection
Unlike the Labdisc, the Mini does not communicate data to the
computer/tablet via the USB cable. With the Mini, the USB cable is
strictly for charging purposes.
3.2 Bluetooth Wireless Communication
Before communicating wirelessly with a Mini for the first time, the
Mini
should be added as a device to the computer in a process called
pairing
. Pairing only needs to be performed once for any Mini. After
pairing is complete the computer stores the connection information,
including a unique number for each Mini (found on a small silver
sticker on the back of your Mini).
3.2.1 Set the Mini to Pairing Mode
1.
Turn on the Mini by pressing the center blue button.
2.
Press and hold the center blue button until the LED lights all flash
red. Your Mini is ready for pairing.
3.2.2 Pairing the Mini with a Windows PC
1.
Start the GlobiLab software.
2.
Right click the Bluetooth icon
located in the bottom
right corner of the screen.
3.
This opens up a pop-up menu with a list of Mini devices that may
already be paired with this computer. At the bottom of the list
select “Find More Labdiscs & Sensors.”
