10. Appendix B – Bluetooth Option
Overview
The Bluetooth wireless communications capability is an additional feature on the 9250
series. Upon proper installation of the Bluetooth device and drivers on the user end, the
9250 may be controlled in a wireless fashion by means of the same 9250 application or by
using any generic communication terminal program.
Power
When using the Bluetooth option, the 9250 does not need to be directly connected to a USB 2.0
port to operate correctly; although, it must be directly connected to a +5VDC ±250mV (
≥
1.5A)
wall-mount supply (or equivalent) to function properly. The multi-functional power button,
labeled “Run/Stop,” functions the same as before and will turn on the 9250 when pressed once.
Initialization & Connectivity
If the device being used to communicate with the 9250 is not already equipped with Bluetooth
capabilities, an external Bluetooth device and supporting software/drivers must be purchased
and properly installed. It should be noted that many laptops, tablets, and smartphones are
already equipped with Bluetooth capabilities. Once the device is properly installed, carry out the
following steps to connect to the 9250 in a wireless fashion:

Turn on the Bluetooth device. On a Windows based PC, this can be carried out by
right clicking the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar f
ollowed by clicking “turn on Bluetooth.”
On tablet or smartphone devices, this should be located in the device settings.

Once Bluetooth is enabled/turned on, scan for a device on a Windows based PC by
carrying out the following:
o Navigate to Bluetooth devices by means of the icon in the taskbar or through
Devices and Printers via Control Panel.
o Click the “Scan for a Device.” This will search for surrounding Bluetooth devices.

When the 9250 is found, it should nominally show up as “Emerald-####.” The “####”
represents the last 4 MAC address digits of the 9250
’s internal Bluetooth device. The
device may also show up as the entire 12 digit MAC address
(ex: 00:06:66:45:1B:28). Finally, the device may also show up as “FireFly-####” where
ag
ain the “####” represents the last 4 MAC address digits of the 9250’s internal
Bluetooth device.

It is recommended that the :SYST:COMM:BLUE:MAC? command be sent through the
9250 Application or other generic terminal program to confirm the correct device.

When the correct device is found, r ight click and select “pair.” When the dialogue box
opens asking for
the Passkey, enter “1234” and click OK.
