Installation

Data Upload

1.To transfer the data collected select the Utilities option.

2.Select the Transfer Files option on the next menu and then the Send Files option.

3.Re-insert the Optimus unit into the cradle and upload the data to the host device.

The OptimusSBT Bluetooth model is similarly connected to the host device and programmed however, there are some key differences in the data collection process. The OptimusSBT Bluetooth supports transmission of data wirelessly and as such has the capability of communicating that data in two distinctive methods, Network Emulation and Serial Emulation.

Network Emulation: Because of the wireless capability of the Optimus Bluetooth it has the capability to transmit data wirelessly to a Bluetooth equipped access point. An access point that exists and is connected to a Local Area Network (LAN) allows users to collect and transmit data in real time, minimizing time lost to transfer data to a host device.

Serial Emulation: Serial Emulation is another manner in which the wireless capable Optimus Bluetooth can transmit data and upload an application program. With Serial Emulation the Optimus Bluetooth can transmit wirelessly to any Bluetooth device that supports Serial Port Profile (SPP). The SPP supported device also allows users to download an application program to the OptimusSBT Bluetooth wirelessly.

It is important to note that plugging the Optimus into a serial port or USB port on the host device does not guarantee communication with the Optimus. Ensure that the communication port on the host device is not populated by another device. Confirm that the communication settings on both the host device and the Optimus correspond prior to a program download or data upload. The communication port settings on the host device to verify are the download/upload method, port number, and baud rate (For further detail see the Optimizer User’s Guide).
