MultiGage Reader App is able to connect up to 14 units of Motionics Bluetooth measurement devices and receive readings from all of them at the same time. Each device will be assigned with an individual panel to display measurement reading, max, min, and TIR. User can disconnect a device or add more devices without interference in other devices and measurement undergoing. MultiGage Reader provides 2 options for data recording: continuous recording at up to 10 samples/sec or one by one capturing with button tapping. Recorded data can be plotted in a user interaction enabled graph (zoom, pan, screenshot) or exported in CSV file via e-mail, cloud drive, or flash drive for further assessment.
