The interface allows for setting Minimum Number, Low Limit, Nominal Value, High Limit, Maximum Number, Unit, Default Text, and Decimal Places.

For Android Devices (Mobile/Tablet) and Sylvac Devices (e.g., Sylvac Caliper), Bluetooth must be enabled (ON).

Turning on the Bluetooth® radio on the Sylvac instrument:

1. Press the Mode button until the menu «» is displayed.
2. Enter the menu by pressing the Set button, then press it again to reach « n».
3. Validate by pressing the Data button. The Bluetooth® radio will turn on.

4. Tap “OK” on the attention screen, which may display a pairing request. It is advised not to click any buttons during connection and let the application handle it.

Note: If a message prompts to pair the instrument with your device during connection, you can cancel or ignore it, as the application will manage the pairing.

5. Connecting Sylvac Widget with Sylvac Device

a. First-time Connection:

1. If you have never connected to a Sylvac device with the DigitalClipBoard App before, the “Connect” button for the Sylvac widget will appear in red.
2. Tap the “Connect” button. The app will scan for available Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices and list them with their names and addresses. Select your Sylvac device (likely starting with “SY”, e.g., SY295).
3. The device will connect and attach to the widget. The status will display in green as “Connected [Device Name]” (e.g., “Connected SY295”).

b. Reconnecting to a Previously Used Device:

If you have previously connected or used a Sylvac device, the app will automatically connect to the last connected device, provided it is in range, paired, and its Bluetooth is on.

c. Changing Focus Between Widgets:

If you change the focus to another Sylvac widget while a device is connected, the status of the previously focused widget will change from “Connected” to “Connect”. The newly focused widget will then show “Connected [Device Name]”.

Once the device is connected, you can take measurements. Pressing the Data button on the Sylvac device will send the measurement/reading, which will then be displayed in the focused widget.

Device Buttons:
