The following describes how to connect a Sylvac Bluetooth measurement device to your PC.

Double click the + Add new device entry field in the Sylvac Bluetooth list to open the devices list. All measurement devices that are recognized are listed here.

If your device is not listed, you need to reset its Bluetooth connection. First make sure that the device’s Bluetooth function is turned on. When it is active, reset the Bluetooth connection via the device’s configuration menu. After a few seconds the device should appear in the MDM-Tool's device list. Select it from the list and press the Add button. The device is added to the output devices list and is automatically connected to default output device virtual keyboard.

Pressing the button on the measurement device transmits measurement data from the device to keyboard interface. Transmitted measurement values are then displayed in the lower part of the window. As a check, compare these values with those displayed on your handheld measuring device.
