3.0 How the Application Works
At boot-up, the Application looks for the Pod at the last Com-Port (communication port?) in which it was located.
If the Pod is not there, the Application scans all the available Com-Ports (communication port?) looking for the
Pod. When the Pod is found the Application then tells the Pod to scan for any Badges that may be in range. The
Application then goes to the Dashboard to retrieve a copy of the Department list for the site where the Application
is being used. The user can now interact with the Application by using the Main Screen and Menu.
4.0 How to Use the Application
This section contains instructions on how to perform a number of common tasks using the Application.
4.1 Connecting the Pod to the PC
The Pod and PC communicate with each other via a standard A to B USB cable. If the Pod and PC are connected
when the Application is launched, the Application will detect that the Pod is connected and display a “green dot”
on the “Connect” button in the “Pod Control”. When the “Connect” button is displaying a red “X” this indicates that
the Application has not detected the Pod (make sure that one end of the cable is attached to the PC and that the
other end is connected to the Pod. Then click the “Connect” button to tell the Application to check again for the
Pod.). If for any reason the Pod should become disconnected during use, the Application will stop detecting the
Pod and change the green “dot” on the “Connect” button to a red “X”.
4.2 Scanning for Badges
When the Application is first launched, it tells the Pod to scan for any Badges that may be in range. The user can
have the Pod scan for new Badges at any time while the Pod is connected to the PC. A new scan is started by
clicking on the “Scan” button; this tells the Pod to look again to see what Badges are within its range.
4.3 Changing the Badge Settings
There are five different sources that can be accessed to make changes to the “Badge Settings”.
The first source is the factory default. This is accessed by clicking on the “Set to Factory Default” button in the
“Badge Settings”. This returns all of the settings of any Badge in range of the Pod back to their factory setting.
The second source is to use the controls in the “Badge Settings” to adjust the most commonly changed settings.
A set of three radio buttons are provided to adjust the “Audio Volume” of all of the audio reminders given by the
Badge. The radio buttons can set the volume at “Off;” the Badge will give no audio reminders. The volume can be
set to “Low;” this will give the audio reminders a minimum volume. The volume can be set to “High;” the volume of
the reminders will sound at their maximum. Another set of three radio buttons are provided to adjust the “LED
Brightness” of all the visual reminders. The brightness of the visual reminders can be set to “Off;” no visual
reminders will be given. The “Low” setting will display the visual reminders at a minimum brightness. At the “High”
setting the visual reminders will be displayed at their maximum brightness. Next in the “Badge Settings” are three
controls used for adjusting the length of time given to the main three grace periods. There are three boxes where
the desired length of time for the “Sanitary Patient Re-contact” grace period, “Extended Time Away” grace period,
and the “After Leaving Patient” grace period can be entered. The Application will check each of the three grace
periods to ensure that there are no conflicts in between the various Badge sanitary states before they are
downloaded to any Badges.
The third source is a previously save Badge configuration. To retrieve a save configuration click on “File” on the
menu bar, then select “Load Configuration”. A window will open were it is possible to navigate to the folder that
contains the saved configurations. Click on the desired configuration file to select it then click on the “Open”
button and the application will load the saved Badge configuration. It is also possible to save a Badge
configuration for future use. This is done by clicking on “File” on the menu bar, then selecting “Save
Configuration”. A window will open were it is possible to navigate to a folder were the configuration can be saved.
