1
00:00:06,733 --> 00:00:08,666
Olympus is pleased to introduce

2
00:00:08,666 --> 00:00:10,666
the Olympus 38-Link™ wireless adaptor

3
00:00:10,666 --> 00:00:14,100
for the 38DL PLUS® thickness gage.

4
00:00:14,100 --> 00:00:16,900
This adaptor enables
the 38DL PLUS

5
00:00:16,900 --> 00:00:18,766
to wirelessly transfer data

6
00:00:18,766 --> 00:00:22,533
through either a Bluetooth®
or wireless LAN connection.

7
00:00:22,533 --> 00:00:24,033
The 38-Link adaptor

8
00:00:24,033 --> 00:00:28,266
easily connects to any existing
38DL PLUS thickness gage.

9
00:00:28,266 --> 00:00:30,766
Simply replace the existing
gage stand bar

10
00:00:30,766 --> 00:00:32,733
with the 38-Link adaptor bar

11
00:00:32,733 --> 00:00:35,400
using a Phillips head screwdriver.

12
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,600
Once connected, slide the 38-Link

13
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,400
into the adaptor bar slot

14
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,233
until you hear it click.

15
00:00:41,233 --> 00:00:43,266
Then, connect the 38-Link cable

16
00:00:43,266 --> 00:00:47,700
to the RS-232 port
on the top of the gage.

17
00:00:47,700 --> 00:00:50,466
Now we’re ready to go wireless.

18
00:00:50,466 --> 00:00:51,866
The 38-Link adaptor

19
00:00:51,866 --> 00:00:54,466
works with existing
38DL PLUS firmware,

20
00:00:54,466 --> 00:00:56,600
version 1.20.

21
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,566
A firmware upgrade, which
can be downloaded for free

22
00:00:59,566 --> 00:01:01,633
from the Olympus-IMS website,

23
00:01:01,633 --> 00:01:03,233
is needed to take advantage

24
00:01:03,233 --> 00:01:06,100
of some new features and capabilities.

25
00:01:06,100 --> 00:01:07,733
The 38-Link adaptor

26
00:01:07,733 --> 00:01:09,933
uses either a removable
Bluetooth

27
00:01:09,933 --> 00:01:11,933
or wireless LAN dongle,

28
00:01:11,933 --> 00:01:14,633
both of which which can be
purchased from Olympus.

29
00:01:14,633 --> 00:01:16,933
The Bluetooth dongle
is used to communicate

30
00:01:16,933 --> 00:01:20,766
with Olympus and
third-party developed apps.

31
00:01:20,766 --> 00:01:22,700
While the wireless LAN dongle

32
00:01:22,700 --> 00:01:26,666
is used to connect
to the Olympus Scientific Cloud.

33
00:01:26,666 --> 00:01:28,333
To connect either dongle,

34
00:01:28,333 --> 00:01:34,466
open the side door of the
38-Link adaptor and insert it.

35
00:01:34,466 --> 00:01:36,733
Then turn on the 38DL PLUS gage,

36
00:01:36,733 --> 00:01:43,733
followed by the 38-Link adaptor.

37
00:01:43,733 --> 00:01:46,433
Olympus offers two Bluetooth solutions

38
00:01:46,433 --> 00:01:49,700
the Olympus Link mobile
app and the Link-Wedge.

39
00:01:49,700 --> 00:01:52,100
The easy-to-use mobile app
lets users

40
00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:54,800
connect their mobile devices
to the 38-Link

41
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,533
and receive thickness readings

42
00:01:56,533 --> 00:01:59,300
sent by the 38DL PLUS thickness gage

43
00:01:59,300 --> 00:02:02,133
This enables users to
quickly and easily share

44
00:02:02,133 --> 00:02:04,233
a digital copy of the thickness data

45
00:02:04,233 --> 00:02:06,733
with colleagues and supervisors.

46
00:02:06,733 --> 00:02:09,533
The app also enables users
to receive files

47
00:02:09,533 --> 00:02:11,066
exported from the gage

48
00:02:11,066 --> 00:02:15,966
and share the files through email.

49
00:02:15,966 --> 00:02:18,966
The second Bluetooth solution,
the Link-Wedge app,

50
00:02:18,966 --> 00:02:20,733
is great for users who need to

51
00:02:20,733 --> 00:02:23,666
send thickness readings
to their existing Windows® 7

52
00:02:23,666 --> 00:02:26,333
or Windows 10 software programs.

53
00:02:26,333 --> 00:02:28,033
With the Link-Wedge software,

54
00:02:28,033 --> 00:02:29,833
you can easily input
thickness readings

55
00:02:29,833 --> 00:02:33,033
into most programs that
allow a keyboard entry.

56
00:02:33,033 --> 00:02:35,266
The Link-Wedge app is easy to use,

57
00:02:35,266 --> 00:02:37,800
doesn’t require costly
software development,

58
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,666
and increases data integrity

59
00:02:39,666 --> 00:02:41,966
by enabling users to transfer
the thickness readings

60
00:02:41,966 --> 00:02:44,433
digitally rather than by hand,

61
00:02:44,433 --> 00:02:47,433
which also saves time.

62
00:02:47,433 --> 00:02:49,166
For users looking for a complete

63
00:02:49,166 --> 00:02:51,133
workflow management solution,

64
00:02:51,133 --> 00:02:53,133
a wireless LAN dongle is used

65
00:02:53,133 --> 00:02:56,400
to connect to the
Olympus Scientific Cloud.

66
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,566
Once a cloud account has been created,

67
00:02:58,566 --> 00:03:00,966
this solution can help
optimize turnarounds

68
00:03:00,966 --> 00:03:03,000
and efficiently manage shutdowns

69
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,933
by creating Projects, Jobs,
and Tasks.

70
00:03:05,933 --> 00:03:08,166
Users can even create survey files

71
00:03:08,166 --> 00:03:09,566
and send them to instruments

72
00:03:09,566 --> 00:03:11,966
and other users around the world.

73
00:03:11,966 --> 00:03:13,566
Readings can be saved to the gage

74
00:03:13,566 --> 00:03:14,966
and uploaded to the cloud

75
00:03:14,966 --> 00:03:17,800
where they can be viewed or exported.

76
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,700
You can connect the adaptor to the
Olympus Scientific Cloud

77
00:03:20,700 --> 00:03:23,066
using either a local wireless network

78
00:03:23,066 --> 00:03:24,500
or by using your smartphone

79
00:03:24,500 --> 00:03:28,233
as a mobile hotspot if a wireless
network is not available.

80
00:03:28,233 --> 00:03:31,300
If this is the case, you can use
the 38DL PLUS gage

81
00:03:31,300 --> 00:03:34,166
while unconnected
to take thickness readings,

82
00:03:34,166 --> 00:03:35,966
and once all the readings
have been saved,

83
00:03:35,966 --> 00:03:37,600
you can connect the 38-Link

84
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,833
to a mobile hotspot and upload files

85
00:03:39,833 --> 00:03:42,333
to the Olympus Scientific Cloud.

86
00:03:42,333 --> 00:03:44,833
At Olympus we’re proud
to offer our customers

87
00:03:44,833 --> 00:03:48,400
a variety of innovative
wireless solutions.

88
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,133
With the 38-Link adaptor,

89
00:03:50,133 --> 00:03:52,400
you can now add wireless
capabilities to your

90
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,733
industry-proven Olympus
38DL PLUS thickness gage.
