BOTA FT Viewer is based on Telemetry Viewer.
- Download the .jar and layout.txt file. The layout.txt is the default and most simplified example layout for Force Torque data logging for Rokubi 2.10 USB.
- Plug in the sensor in a USB port of your computer. Device manager of Windows will recognize it and will appear as a serial port with name COMx. Where “x” a random number given from the OS to the device. Right click on the icon and choose Properties. Follow the settings found in the snapshots below and click ok.
- Wait for 2 seconds. Close the device manager windows and execute the bota_ft_viewer.jar
- Click on Open Layout and choose the layout.txt file provided and click ok.
- Choose the COMx you configured in step 2 from the dropdown menu and click connect.
- Once you click connect a pop-up window will appear with the default configuration the layout.txt contains. Press Done and you are done.
- Wait for the Graph window to shrink to the measurements scale.
- Click disconnect.
- Connect to the serial port through a RealTerm: 230400 baudrate, Data bits 8, Parity None, Stop bits 1, Flow control None.
- To bias the sensor to its initial value when the sensor started operating an “a” should be sent to the device through the terminal while online.
- To store this bias configuration into the device’s memory you will have 4 seconds to send subsequently a “y”. If you do so, the offset values will be stored into the device. We recommend to do it whenever it is needed. The device’s memory have limited re-writing cycles. Do not apply loads to the sensor while this process is ongoing!
- Connect again through the bota_ft_viewer.
