Transferring Results to Phone/Tablet via NoApp® QR Code

VeEX's NoApp® (US Patent 12,190,199)*This product is protected under U.S. Patent No. 12,190,199 and may be covered by additional patents. Any unauthorized reproduction, sale, or distribution is strictly prohibited and may result in legal action. uses NFC and QR code technologies to process and consolidate test results data, from small meters to more advanced test sets, efficiently as part of our vision to streamline workflow and reporting.

Test Results QR Transfer and Report Generation

 

Once the test report is displayed, company information, logo, job ID, geolocation, comments, picture, other test results, etc. can be added. The test results can also be uploaded directly to the centralized/cloud server (for R-Server subscribers). PDFs can also be generated and results shared using email or SMS.

Multiple tests reports, from the same or different testers, can be combined into a single report. For example, a PON Internet access activation may require some optical power measurements at the drop, an optical fault locator measurement to verify the length of the drop, a PON signal analysis test, and an Internet speed test to verify the QoE. Since they all belong to the same job, with NoApp, they can be assembled and filed on a single comprehensive report.

QR Code generation must be enabled on the test set and mobile device, or it can be launched later, from the File Manager by tapping on the QR icon. QR Result generation is only supported by some test applications.

 

 

Viewing Results on Phone

After transferring results to a mobile device via the QR reader, the browser launches automatically and displays them.

 

The top of the screen shows the device type, mode, serial number, and software version, and the date results were saved on the device.

Export options appear at the bottom on the screen. Alternatively, tap the Menu drop-down menu to view the options.
