Immediately crashes upon connect with the device. Using iOS 11.3.

### 5/5 — Indispensable companion to NIRscan Nano

*2016-09-27, version 2.0.2*

App to connect to NIRscan Nano and capture Near Infrared Spectroscopy scans. The app works well, connecting to the NIRscan Nano, triggerring a scan, and collecting scan. Current and previous scans can be displayed and the graph zoom in and out. Different scan configurations can be selected and device information reported. The captured scans CSV can be emailed. The source code for the app  is offered in GitHub
