3.2 CONFIGURING STANDARD SETTINGS
Once the application is launched, click the "Open"
10
button. The interface will automatically retrieve the
settings saved in the rotating winder and display them in
the appropriate fields. If these fields remain empty, press
the "Refresh" button. If an error message appears, check
that the winder is still in Bluetooth mode (LED flashing
every two seconds). If the winder has reverted to nor-
mal mode (because the connection was not established
within one minute), switch it off with a short press of the
button. The Bluetooth mode can then be reactivated by
holding the button down for four seconds.
MAC APPLICATION
WINDOWS APPLICATION
This window can be used to select the direction of rota-
tion (clockwise, "CW", anti-clockwise "CCW", or both)
as well as the number of rotations. If only one direction is
selected, the corresponding box for the opposite direc-
tion will be greyed out. Otherwise, both settings can be
edited. The number of clockwise turns and the number
of anti-clockwise turns are entirely independent of each
other. For example, the rotating winder can be set to
500 clockwise turns and 200 anti-clockwise turns. The
maximum number of turns in either direction is 65,535.
The final setting "Wait Time" is used to define the length
of time between the two cycles. This is measured from
the end of one set of revolutions to the start of the next.
If the turn cycle lasts 1 hour and the wait time is 23 hours,
the complete cycle will be repeated once every 24 hours.
The maximum wait time is 1,092 hours and 15 minutes.
When the desired settings have been configured, press
the "Update" button to transfer them to the rotating
winder. Once the transfer is complete, click on "Save
and Disconnect". The settings will not be saved by the
rotating winder until this has been done. This action will
deactivate Bluetooth mode and return the winder to nor-
mal mode. The rotating winder will start operating with
an initial series of 12 clockwise rotations and 12 anti-clo-
ckwise rotations. Then it will follow the new settings for
the wait time and the number of rotations. If the ON/OFF
button is pressed before the interface is disconnected,
the new settings will not be saved.
