NanoScan iOS App

KS Technologies has developed an example iOS app that controls the DLP NIRscan Nano EVM. This app
is available for download through the Apple App Store free of charge. This app supports BLE iOS devices:
iPhone 4S or later and iPad 3 or later with iOS 7.1 or later.
After running the NanoScan iOS App, the main screen shown in
performed with the NIRscan Nano EVM. To connect to a NIRscan Nano EVM, enable the Bluetooth by
pressing and holding the scan button on the EVM for more than three seconds. The blue LED will light up
to indicate that the Bluetooth circuits are powered and actively scanning. Press Scan on the top-right
corner of the iOS App to initiate a connection. The Bluetooth icon in the top-right corner of the iPhone
screen will blink as the connection is established. The NIRscan Nano EVM blue LED will pulse to indicate
that a BLE connection was established. Then, the reference and calibration data is downloaded from the
EVM. When that is completed, the Start Scan button will be activated.
Pressing the Configure button in the top-right corner of the NanoScan main screen opens the
Configuration screen. The Configuration screen displays four buttons:
• Device Information: This button uses the following service:
– GATT General Information Service to request Manufacture, Model Number, Serial Number,
Hardware revision, Tiva firmware version, and Spectrum Library revision.
• Device Status: This button uses the following services:
– Battery Service to prompt for the Battery voltage. The battery is reported in percentage capacity
with 0%, 5%, 20%, 40%, 60%, and 80%.
– GATT General Information Service to request temperature, humidity, device and error status, and
also set threshold for temperature and humidity notifications.
– GATT General Information Service to report device and error status.
• Scan Configurations: This button uses the following service:
– GATT Scan Configuration Information Service to display stored scan configurations on the DLP
NIRscan Nano. The user can select which stored scan configuration will be used in future scans.
