iOS

For Apple devices, the application can be installed via the app store. Note that it is currently in a testflight-only version, and requires a manual invite via E-mail.

Desktop

Desktop devices can also be used to perform a measurement. To do this, a number of criteria have to be met:

• The device needs to be connected via USB
• The device must run a chromium-based browser, which needs to be up-to-date.
  - Some devices require an additional driver that is sometimes not pre-installed on Windows. If you can not connect your device, it is worth trying to install it:

Note
This feature is very much in development. Expect to encounter some issues.

Note
Windows-devices might limit a USB-ports power comsumption, making it impossible for the app to talk to the scanner.

To solve this, execute the following steps:

• Open the control panel
• Search for "Edit Plan" to edit the power saving plan
• Click on "Change advanced power settings"
• Navigate to USB settings > USB selective suspend settings
  • Disable all options that are appropriate for your usecase
