How to Start and Stop a Transmitter
This tutorial covers how to start and stop a transmitter using a magnet, a TB receiver and LiveView.
Estimated time: 4 min
Setting up LiveView
- Open LiveView on your computer.
- Use a magnet to activate Bluetooth mode on the receiver.
- Wait for the receiver to appear under Select TB Unit in LiveView.
- Select the receiver and click Connect.
- Open Device Information and check that the receiver's listening mode matches the transmitter's configuration.
If you need to change the receiver's listening mode, this can be done using ComPort.
Starting the transmitter
- Place the magnet against the transmitter and hold it there until you see a burst of rapid pulses in LiveView.
- Remove the magnet as soon as the rapid pulses begin.
- Keep the magnet away while the transmitter sends a slower sequence of 10 pulses.
- Once the sequence is complete, place the magnet back against the transmitter within 3 seconds.
- Remove the magnet when the confirmation sequence begins.
Three groups of three pulses in LiveView confirm that the transmitter has started.
Stopping the transmitter
To stop the transmitter and return it to sleep mode, follow the same procedure as above.
The magnet sequence is identical, but the final confirmation is different.
Three groups of two pulses in LiveView confirm that the transmitter has stopped and entered sleep mode.
Troubleshooting
If the transmitter doesn't respond to the magnet, slowly move the magnet around the transmitter to find the magnetic trigger point.
If necessary, wait a couple of minutes before trying again.
Also, make sure the receiver is configured to listen on the same frequency as the transmitter.
