Internal Bluetooth and GPS
The 801B 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 801B to the PC and calibration constants from the PC to the 801B.
To use Bluetooth communication a Bluetooth enabled PC is required.
One off Pairing:
1.
Power on PC and ensure PC Bluetooth is activated.
2.
Power on 801B reader unit.
3.
On PC, search for Bluetooth devices – The device name is YK801B_### where ### is the
serial number.
4.
Pair Bluetooth device using pass code 0000 or 1234.
Once paired, it is possible to access the allocated Bluetooth serial port by the YK 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.
The communication port can be handled differently by different computers. On some computers
the communication port will need to be re-established if the 801B 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 801B.
GPS
GPS co-ordinates appear on the top of the reader unit display
Main Menu
. If there is no GPS signal
a message will appear that GPS is not available.
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.
Bluetooth and GPS Power
The reader unit by default activates power to these devices upon reset.
