WARNING
The Bluetooth wireless communication is intended as an add-on function. In case of Bluetooth transmission failure, we
recommend the use of more reliable USB technology.
3.1
Data Transmission via Bluetooth
This function is not available in BASIC version.
Spirobank II
can be connected
as a “device”
to
another product which performs the “m
a
ster” function. It is possible to connect
Spirobank II
to a PC or mobile phone and with application the two devices can operate together. The connection uses the SPP protocol
(Serial Porto Profile).
To work properly the connection requires the following requirements:
•
Spirobank II
must have the Bluetooth function (this function is optional in some models)
•
The voice
“Bluetooth settings” in the service menu must be set on the voice “ON only if spirobank ON” or “ON even if spirobank
OFF”
If these requirements are met, then on the “muster” device search the
active devices.
When
Spirobank II
is found, then insert the PIN in the “muster” device; the
PIN is defined in two different items of the service menu:
•
info firmware
•
Bluetooth settings
Type
in the PIN finish the “pairing” activity.
At this point
Spirobank II
uses the connection via SPP protocol. For more
detailed information regarding the protocol SPP contact the manufacturer.
Spirobank II
can be connected with a PC where the software winspiroPRO is installed. Once it has made the connection winspiroPRO
becomes an interactive panel to manage
Spirobank II.
The user can perform
on line wireless
tests of spirometry or oximetry and the
tests will be directly stored in the database of winspiroPRO software.
3.2
PC connection via USB port
WARNING
Before connecting the Spirobank II via USB to the PC, the WinspiroPRO software must be installed on the PC first to enable
the software to interface with the device.
Before initiating the following procedure it is important to know the operating system version installed on the PC used for the
connection (from control panel click on “System”, where the type of operating system installed on the PC can be checked).
If winspiroPRO is already installed on the PC then a new installation is not required.
To make the connection, insert the mini USB connector supplied with
Spirobank II
as shown in the picture and attach the other connector to the
USB port of the PC.
When initially making a connection, depending on the version of the
operating system, the PC will either make an automatic driver installation
(for Windows 98, 2000, ME) or request some information (for Windows
XP, Vista and Seven). To avoid making any errors at this stage please read
the Advanced section of the winspiroPRO User Manual carefully.
