9.3.4. Secure the relationship
This is where you must “Bond” or “Pair” with the device. This is a feature of Bluetooth, which allows secure communications to take place. It is also used to stop other devices from performing unauthorised connections.
You can start the bonding process by selecting and right clicking on your adapter from the main screen. This brings up a context menu from which you should select the “Bond” option.
If you have configured your adapter from the menu to use a low security mode (and thus not require bonding) then this step can be skipped and you can jump straight to section “9.3.5 Connect to the Serial Port profile”.
You will then be prompted to enter a PIN number. Enter the Pin number (which is 1234 by default, unless you have used the configuration menu to change it). Click OK
The Icon of your adapter in the main window should now change to indicate a “bonded” status as shown here.
9.3.5. Connect to the Serial Port profile
In order to actually connect to the appropriate function on the adapter you will need to discover it’s services.
This will display a serial port service called “Serial 01” Double clicking this service (or right clicking and selecting the “connect” option), will create a COM port style connection to the adapter.
This screen shot shows that the port in our example here is listed as COM25, although yours will most likely be a much lower number than this.
This “COM” port is now available for any application to use to communicate with your device, or in our case, the oscilloscope.
