I too have issues with their bluetooth. It is tricky, with no repeatable results.? ?I kinda got it working.? ?I emailed PNC engineering (my vendor). Here is what the chief engineer said:
Thank you for your email.? Each windows operating system is different and has different ways of getting the analyzer to connect properly. In order to connect the analyzer to the computer via Bluetooth you can not use the "Auto" setting on the AntScope2 software.? With the PC Computer, in order to make a communication connection it must first create a Virtual (Comm) port. Once this is done, you must then go into the settings of the AntScope2 software and set the communications port to "Manual" and then select from the drop down box the correct comm port your computer has created.? This is where most people make their mistake and become confused on the "boards" you are talking about. Admittedly, sometimes it is necessary to find the correct 'launch' process so your computer finds the analyzer using AntScope2.? In other words, some time you will need to turn on the analyzer, and then launch the software, or perhaps launch the software, and then turn on the analyzer in order for them to find each other, even when the system says they are already paired.
As for the android program, once you have paired the phone to the analyzer (and disconnected from all other devices, only 1 device can pair with any Bluetooth device at a time) you should be able to push the "connect" button in the Android AntScope2 program and everything should connect up without an issue. It is possible, depending on your android phone/device that it has a compatibility issue.. Although I can not say for sure not knowing which one you have.
Hope that may help.? I do think you are in uncharted territory with windows under linux.
