Enhanced Real-Time Mechanical Measurement Monitoring Through Cross- Platform BLE Interface in Windows and Android Applications

There are various mechanical measurement techniques used in metrology applications. Measurement data can be acquired from measuring device / instruments like probes, gauges, calibration instruments, using various communication protocols Communication ports (COM Port), Universal Serial Communication ports (USBs), Blue tooth, Ethernet, and many more. In this paper, an attempt has been made to adapt Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), a high end Bluetooth technique to acquire and monitor the measurement data from measuring device/ instrument using Visual Studio C++ platform (with GUI development in QT framework). The detailed method/procedure of data acquisition using BLE technique is clearly described in this paper which is very useful for the development of measurement software using BLE.
