vPad-A1 OPERATORS MANUAL
4.8.2.2 Communication Management
Communication refers to messaging from the A1 App, running on the
Tablet, to the vPad-A1 Base module. Settings related to “Comm.
Management” appear below the “Power Management” section of the
Settings panel.
Communication of control messages is integral to the operation of the vPad-
A1 Patient Simulator. Although unit is configured at the factory to suit
typical operating conditions, users may wish to optimize Communication
settings for their own environment or application.
Active Communication can be set to one of four modes:
• Demo Mode - for testing/troubleshooting with emulated A1 hardware
- cannot be used for actual simulation or performance testing
• USB (to A1 base) - for wired USB connection with the vPad-A1 Base module
- follow instructions in ?
• USB (to ES) - for wired connection with the vPad-ES Safety Analyzer
- for remote operation via the vPad-Check™ app
• Bluetooth - for wireless connection with vPad-A1 Base, or vPad-ES tablet
- can use Tablet as separate handheld control interface
Note
: Two USB options exist for compatibility with both the A1 Tablet and remote
control through the vPad-ES Safety Analyser (using vPad-Check). Contact
Datrend Customer Support
for more information.
To manually change the A1
Communication interface, simply use the radio buttons under
“Operation Mode”. Changing the operation mode also sets the default connection method on App
startup. New configurations will be applied immediately, but they will not persist upon quitting the
App unless the button is pressed.
When the App is first launched, it attempts to make a connection according to the last saved
Communication settings. Changing the “Operation Mode” will break the current connection and
cause the App to make another connection with the new settings.
The
Bluetooth Device setting specifies the Bluetooth name of the target to connect with, which can
be either an A1 Base or a vPad-ES Safety Analyser. A dropdown menu lists all Bluetooth devices
currently paired with the Tablet; only names that begin with “DSI-VPAD” are valid targets.
