9.3.4. Secure the relationship 
 
 
This is where you must “Bond” or “Pair” with the device. This 
is a feature of Bluetooth, which allows secure 
communications to take place. It is also used to stop other 
devices from performing unauthorised connections. 
 
You can start the bonding process by selecting and right 
clicking on your adapter from the main screen. This brings up 
a context menu from which you should select the “Bond” 
option. 
 
If you have configured your adapter from the menu to use a 
low security mode (and thus not require bonding) then this 
step can be skipped and you can jump straight to section 
9.3.5 Connect to the Serial Port profile”. 
 
 
 
 
You will then be prompted to enter a PIN number. Enter the 
Pin number (which is 1234 by default, unless you have used 
the configuration menu to change it). Click OK 
 
The Icon of your adapter in the main window should now 
change to indicate a “bonded” status as shown here. 
 
9.3.5. Connect to the Serial Port profile 
 
 
 
In order to actually connect to the appropriate function on the 
adapter you will need to discover it’s services. 
 
Double-Click the device selected. 
 
This will display a serial port service called “Serial 01”  
Double clicking this service (or right clicking and selecting the 
“connect” option), will create a COM port style connection to 
the adapter.   
 
This screen shot shows that the port in our example here is 
listed as COM25, although yours will most likely be a much 
lower number than this. 
 
This “COM” port is now available for any application to use to 
communicate with your device, or in our case, the 
oscilloscope.
