396-4412Y1 QuickDraw 3000 Operatorās Manual 46 Revised 02/20/2020
iPad App (QuickDraw 3000 App)
The iPad app is not necessary to operate the QuickDraw 3000 in the field, but it does provide many
convenience features, and the QuickDraw 3000 is intended to be used with an iPad. The QD 3000
app is NOT the same as the original QD app. The new QD 3000 iPad must be downloaded and used.
With the iPad app, new recipes can be created, existing recipes can be edited, and products can be
entered and set up. Grower, farm, field, operator, and other information can be entered and set up on
the iPad without being near the QuickDraw. Setup can be done at home or in the office on the iPad
and then transferred to the QuickDraw when connected with the Wifi connection.
Historical records of batches and all other files from the QuickDraw controller will be transferred to the
iPad when they are connected.
The iPad app can be used to START a batch and to report the progress of Manually Added Products
during a batch. The user can monitor the progress of the batch from the iPad and does not have to
stay by the controller.
The QD3000 iPad App, for the most part, has the same screens and navigation features as the
QuickDraw controller. The iPad can be used in the OFFLINE mode (at home or in the office) to train a
new user in navigating and setting up the system.
The iPad Menu screen has the all the same buttons as the QuickDraw controller, plus an additional
Data Management button. These will be shown in the coming pages.
A single iPad can be used to control/update multiple QuickDraws. Information/recipes that are added
to the iPad while OFFLINE may be directed in whole or in part to individual controllers or to all
controllers (See DATA MANAGEMENT > SEND > SEND & DELETE > DATA).
The iPad will store historical data from every controller it has ever connected to. When the iPad is
OFFLINE, all historic data from every controller will be displayed. This data can be filtered as usual
(explained later) and also by QuickDraw ID.
When the iPad is connected to a controller, it will only show data that is on that controller. Historical
records from other controllers will not be visible. Also, any items that were created offline and that
have not been sent to the controller will not be visible or selectable. (See Data Management later)
On the iPad, go to the App Store and download the SureFire QuickDraw 3000 app.
Follow the instructions on the following pages for:
1. Getting the iPad connected to the QuickDraw Wifi network and then,
2. Getting the iPad App and the QuickDraw communicating with each other.
