6.2 Interfacing a SWiFT
The SWiFT is designed to communicate primarily through a Bluetooth interface but has a PC
cabled USB-RS232 comms capability as a fall back.
The integral Bluetooth module communicates with an iOS and Android App and can be used with
Valeport's Ocean software using the supplied Bluetooth dongle. Both the dongle and the cable
present a serial port to the PC with the following settings:
Baud Rate: 230400
Protocol: 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, No parity, No flow control
6.3 Interfacing to a PC
– Valeport Ocean Software
There are two methods of connecting a SWiFT to a PC:
1. A wired connection using the supplied USB cable
2. Bluetooth with the supplied USB module.
6.3.1 USB Communications
The SWiFT contains a USB-Serial FDTI chip. When the SWiFT interface\charging cable is first
plugged into the USB port of a PC it will install the relevant FTDI drivers.
This installation may require administration rights for the installation of the serial port drivers.
f the drivers do not automatically install they can be manually installed by running the CDM v2.12.00
WHQL Certified utility.
Please note that when the USB cable is plugged into the SWiFT the GPS module is disabled and
the status light is switched off.
The SWiFT will be assigned a COM port (e.g. COM10) and on every subsequent connection it
should retain this port assignment. See below for interfacing example

6.3.2 Bluetooth Communications
SWiFT is fitted with an integral Bluetooth 4.0 LE chip. This allows short range wireless comms
with PC or hand-held device running the Valeport Ocean software. Using the software will allow
the instrument to be configured and download recorded data.
