\nBefore you start an experiment, you need to connect to the measurement sensors you will use. \u00a0Tap ‘Select Sensor Source’<\/strong> to choose the sensors you will use.<\/p>\n
If you are using the built in sensors on the iPad, then no additional configuration is required.<\/p>\n
If you are using remote\u00a0sensors from an Android phone or a WICED Sense device, you\u00a0will be prompted to connect to the remote device before\u00a0you begin observing measurements.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To connect to an Android device, you must\u00a0input the IP address and port number of the Android device running \u00a0Sir Isaac’s Apple app.<\/p>\n Tap the Connect<\/strong>\u00a0button to start receiving sensor measurements from the remote Android device. \u00a0If you loose the Wi-Fi\u00a0connection to the Android, you will be prompted to re-connect.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The WICED Sense device communicates over Bluetooth, so before you can connect, you will be prompted to enable\u00a0Bluetooth if it is not on already. \u00a0To connect to a WICED Sense device, power on the device with the upper\u00a0button. \u00a0A light should come on the device, and the WICED Sense should show up in the list of devices you can connect to.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Select a device, and then tap the ‘Connect<\/span>‘ button to start receiving sensor measurements from the device. \u00a0If you lose the Bluetooth connection, you will be prompted to re-connect.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n From the connection page, tap \u00a0‘Graphs<\/strong>‘ in the navigation bar to begin observing the sensor measurements from the current source.<\/p>\n The graph shows you the last 10 seconds of measurements for the selected sensor \u00a0from the iPad or the remote device. \u00a0Tap ‘Zoom Extents’<\/b> to resize the graph to show all of the data. You can also pinch to zoom. Pinch horizontally to zoom only the x axis, pinch vertically to zoom only the y axis.<\/p>\n To choose a different sensor to watch, tap Select Sensor<\/b> and select an available sensor.<\/p>\n Tap Select Graph Type<\/b> to choose which sensor measurement axes you would like to display.<\/p>\n Combined axes are displayed as the magnitude of the two or three axes (the square root of the sum of the values squared).<\/i><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n If you are using the Isaac\u2019s Apple for Android application for remote sensor measurements, you must connect to the Android device over WiFi. \u00a0If you are having trouble connecting, and you have already verified that you are entering the correct IP address and port number for the remote device, then you should try the following troubleshooting steps.<\/p>\n Once you have verified that all devices are on the same Local Area Network (LAN), if your connection is still not working, make sure that the devices call see each other on the network.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you are using the iPad observer application, you will need a third party network \u2018Ping\u2019 tool to check the connection between the iPad and the Android phone. \u00a0We recommend the Fing – Network Scanner<\/a> app available for free on iTunes. \u00a0This is a great free app, with no obnoxious adds, that youcan use to \u2018ping\u2019 other devices on your network<\/p>\n Open Fing on the iPad. Tap the refresh button at the top right to detect all of the devices on your LAN. With any luck, you will see your iPad and your Android device in the results. \u00a0It is possible that you will not.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you do not see your Android device in the scan results, you can try sending a ping to the device manually. Tap on the edit button on the bottom toolbar to bring up the manual connect view. Enter the IP address of the Android device, and tap Ping Host<\/b>.<\/p>\n Fing should now show that the Android is on the same network as your iPad.<\/p>\n If you are not able to connect, you can retry a few times. You can also try to disable and then re-enable the wifi on the Android device, then ping it again. \u00a0If you are unsuccessful to get the iPad to ping the Android device, then you will not be able to connect to the Android device with the Isaac\u2019s Apple iPad application. \u00a0At this point, the connection problem is probably related to your router or LAN setup. There may be firewall or proxy issues that you would need to discuss with the network administrator.<\/p>\n If you are using the PC observer application, tap the Start menu and type \u201ccmd\u201d into the search window. Open the command prompt program and enter \u201cping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\u201d (where xxx is the IP address of the android device such as 192.188.150.2).<\/p>\n If your PC can see the Android device on the network you will see something like this:<\/p>\n If the results indicate that the host is unreachable, then you can retry. Also try to disable and re-enable the WiFi on the Android device. If you are unsuccessful to get the PC to ping the Android device, then you will not be able to connect to the Android device with the Isaac\u2019s Apple PC application. \u00a0At this point, the connection problem is probably related to your router or LAN setup. There may be firewall or proxy issues that you would need to discuss with the network administrator.<\/p>\n On the Windows PC, if you can ping the device from the command prompt, but you are still unable to connect to the Android device with the Isaac\u2019s Apple PC application, make sure you opened up the firewall when prompted the first time you ran the program.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You can also check the firewall settings (tap Start, type Firewall in the search window). Make sure that Isaac\u2019s Apple is an allowed program in the firewall settings.<\/p>\n Connection Settings Before you start an experiment, you need to connect to the measurement sensors you will use. \u00a0Tap ‘Select Sensor Source’ to choose the sensors you will use.
