This is the communication software for HIOKI Products (Bluetooth Low Energy models). The GENNECT Cross is compatible with the following products. Target Models: - BT3554-50, BT3554-01(-11) BATTERY TESTER - IR4057-50, IR4054-11, IR4058-20 INSULATION TESTER - FT6380-50 CLAMP ON EARTH TESTER - PD3259-50 DIGITAL PHASE DETECTOR - CM4001,CM4002,CM4003 AC LEAKAGE CLAMP METER - CM3286-01 AC CLAMP POWER METER - CM4142 AC CLAMP METER - CM4372, CM4374, CM4376 AC/DC CLAMP METER - CM7291 DISPLAY UNIT - FT3425 LUX METER - FT4310 BYPASS DIODE TESTER https://gennect.net/en/cross/index Features: - General Measurement : This function is useful when you would like to get the multiple data. You can connect multiple measurement instruments and save the data manually. The app's maximum number of instruments connection is 8, however some devices only allow to connect fewer measuring instruments simultaneously depending on their wireless connectivity. In addition, location information and photos can be saved with measured data. - Logging(Recording) : This function automatically record the data up to a maximum of 24 hours, with the fastest interval of every 5 seconds and up to 8 channels simultaneously. It also allows you to record the data trend graph during a assigned period. - Comparator : This function is used to judge whether the measured values are good or bad by the FAIL criteria.You can utilize several options to set the criteria, an arbitral value (for all models),a instrument-defined value (for FT4310, IR405X) and so on. - Waveform/FFT : This function is used to capture the voltage waveforms(simple FFT) or current waveforms(simple FFT). You can also download INRUSH waveform from CM4142/CM437X. - Battery : This function is used to record measurement data transferred from battery testers. The recorded data can be displayed in the graph or the list form. The battery number can be confirmed audibly by the Measurement Recording Guide function. - Electric Theft Detection : This function is used to check the "Theft of Electricity" status by measuring current and power using CM3286-01. You can also create PDF reports including measurement data related with pictures and the map information. (needs the internet access.) - Harmonic Analysis: This function is used to analyze the harmonics from 1 to 30th order. The level, content percentage of FND, total harmonic distortion(THD), harmonic graph and measured waveforms are displayed and recorded. - Field Maintenance: This function is used to map measured values to arbitrary positions in the picture. You can also create templates in advance and load it later. - Event Recording: This is a function that allows you to easily visualize when and how much measuring values exceeded the pre-set thresholds on your smartphone and tablet. This is ideal for troubleshooting of over load and leakage current and voltage drop, for example. - Vector:This function allows you to display measured values and vector diagrams simultaneously and compare them with saved data.

Please note that you have to cover this access fee to the internet. - This app uses the location information service (GPS). - Please be sure to confirm the privacy polisy on the upper right of the [Other] screen and agree before using this app. Contact form: https://www.hioki.com/contact The copyright to the executable program file and associated documents is owned by HIOKI E.E.

All-in-One App for Amateur Radio Operators! Introducing HAM Support, a practical logging and operating companion for amateur radio enthusiasts. HAM Support helps you keep QSO logs, manage station details, and quickly look up useful information during operation. It is built for everyday QSOs, portable operation, and reviewing your radio activity later. Features - QRZ.com Lookup β Use your QRZ.com credentials to look up callsigns and view details such as QTH, country, Grid Locator, QSL manager, CQ/ITU zone, alias callsigns, and more. - iCloud Sync Sync QSO logs across your devices so your records stay up to date on iPhone and iPad. - Comprehensive QSO Log Management Record and search QSOs by callsign, name, frequency, mode, date, and more. You can also save rig, antenna, power, QTH, QSL, and contest information. - Automatic GPS Input Record operating location, altitude, weather, and position data. QTH details, Grid Locator, and regional codes help speed up logging in the field. - Automatic Distance Calculation with Your Contact HAM Support can calculate the distance to the other station from QTH information and show locations on a map. - QSL Card Management Manage pending and completed QSL cards. You can optionally show the number of pending QSLs as an app badge. Configure a front photo and your station information, then export front-and-back QSL cards as PDF files. Export cards individually or bundle selected cards into a ZIP file for saving, AirDrop, printing, and sharing through the system share sheet. - Address Book Automatically build an address book from your QSO history, then add contact details, notes, and profile images. - Statistics Review monthly and yearly QSO counts, frequent callsigns, QSO distances, QSL ratio, and operating locations on a map. - CSV & ADIF Import / Export Import and export QSO logs as CSV. ADI and ADX export, Turbo HAMLOG CSV import, and zLog-compatible CSV export are supported. - Radio & Antenna Presets Register frequently used rigs and antennas to make future log entry faster. - Operator Tools Use band plan checking, prefix lookup, regional-code search, and Japanese phonetic table conversion. - Morse Code Tool Decode International and Japanese Morse code from microphone input or audio files. Generate Morse audio from text with selectable WPM and tone frequency, and play it through sound or the camera flash. Paddle, straight-key, and simple two-button input modes are available for practice and analysis. Morse actions are also available through Shortcuts and system-wide keyboard extensions. - Blacklist Feature Flag callsigns you want to avoid and receive a warning when creating a new QSO log with those stations. - Spotlight, Apple Intelligence, and Shortcuts Make QSO logs easier to find through Spotlight and Apple Intelligence-related features. Shortcuts can open a new QSO log, convert Japanese text to the Japanese phonetic table, decode Morse audio, or generate a Morse audio file from text. Why Use HAM Support? - Offline Functionality Saved logs can be viewed and managed offline, making this app reliable even in remote locations. - User-Friendly Interface for All Experience Levels With a simple, practical UI, HAM Support is comfortable for beginners and experienced operators alike. - Ad-Free with Basic Functions Available Free of Charge No ads to interrupt your operation.
