Creating Structures in ID MODE
Alternatively, you can work in the ID mode. „ID“ is indicated in the
header. You can create structural elements in the test instrument
which can be labelled with ID numbers at your discretion.
Note
In the test instrument, structures can either be created in
text mode or in ID mode.
In the report software, however, designations and ID
numbers are always allocated.
If no texts or ID numbers have been allocated when creating the
structures in the test instrument, report software generates the
missing entries automatically. They can be subsequently edited in
the report software and transferred back to the test instrument if
required.
Switching Bluetooth
®
On/Off ( MTECH+/MXTRA/ SECULIFE IP
only)
If your PC is equipped with a Bluetooth
®
interface, wireless com-
munication is possible between the MTECH+, MXTRA or SECULIFE IP
and report user software for the transfer of data and test struc-
tures.
One-time only authentication of the respective PC with the test
instrument is a prerequisite for wireless data exchange. The func-
tion selector switch must be in the SETUP position to this end.
The correct Bluetooth
®
COM port must also be selected in report
software before each data transmission sequence.
Note
Activate the Bluetooth
®
interface at the test instrument
during data transmission only. Interface power consump-
tion reduces battery service life when activated continu-
ously.
If several test instruments are within range during authentication,
the respective name should be changed in order to rule out the
possibility of a mix-up. Blanks may not be used. The default pin
code, namely “0000”, can be changed, but this is unnecessary as
a rule. As shown in figure 3, the MAC address of the test instru-
ment is displayed in the footer as hardware information.
Render your test instrument visible prior to authentication, and
subsequently invisible for security reasons.
Steps Required for Authentication
Make sure that the test instrument is within range of the PC
(roughly 5 to 8 meters). Activate Bluetooth
®
at the test instrument
(see figure 1) and at your PC.
The function selector switch must be in the SETUP position to this end.
Make sure that the test instrument (see figure 3) and your PC are
visible for other Bluetooth
®
devices:
In the case of the test instrument, the word “visible” must be dis-
played underneath the eye symbol.
Use your Bluetooth
®
PC driver software to add a new Bluetooth
®
device. In most cases, this is accomplished with the help of the
“Add new connection” or “Add Bluetooth
®
device” button.
The following steps may vary, depending on which Bluetooth
®
PC
driver software is used. Basically, a PIN code must be entered at
the PC. The default setting for the PIN code is “0000”, and is dis-
played in the main Bluetooth
®
menu (see figure 1) at the test instru-
ment. Subsequently, or previously, an authentication message
must be acknowledged at the test instrument (see figure 4).
If authentication has been successful, a corresponding message
appears at the test instrument. Furthermore, the authenticated
PC is displayed in the “Trusted Devices” menu at the test instru-
ment (see figure 2).
The MTECH+, MXTRA or the SECULIFE IP should now also be listed
as a device in your Bluetooth
®
PC driver software. Further informa-
tion is also provided here regarding the utilized COM port. With
the help of your Bluetooth
®
PC driver software, you’ll need to find
out which COM port is used for the Bluetooth
®
connection. This
port is frequently displayed after authentication, but if this is not
the case, this information provided by your Bluetooth
®
PC driver
software.
The report software includes a function for automatically ascertaining the uti-
lized COM port after successful authentication has been completed (see screen-
shot below).
If the test instrument is within range of your PC (5 to 8 meters),
wireless data exchange can now be initiated with the help of
report software by clicking Bluetooth
®
in the “Extras” menu. The
number of the correct COM port (e.g. COM40) must be entered
to report software when data exchange is started (see screenshot
below).
Alternatively, the COM port number can be selected automatically by clicking
the “Find Bluetooth Device” item in the menu.
3h
When Bluetooth
®
is
active (= ON), the
Bluetooth
®
icon
appears in the
header instead of BAT, and
an interface icon appears
instead of MEM.
A closed interface icon indicates
an active Bluetooth connection
with data transmission.
