About QR codes and NFC
As noted in the previous section, you can connect your mobile device to your capture board by
scanning the capture board’s QR code or by tapping the capture board’s NFC tag.
l A QR code is a type of bar code. If your mobile device has a rear-facing
camera and a QRcode scanning app, you can scan QR codes like the one on
the capture board. Your mobile device then executes the QR codes’
commands. Typically, QR codes’ commands display messages or open web
pages.
l NFC is a wireless technology that enables you to connect your mobile device and another
device, such as the capture board, by holding your mobile device a short distance from (or
“tapping”) the other device.
NOTE
Currently, you are unable to connect the capture board to an iPhone 6 using the mobile
device’s NFC support.
TIP
Refer to your mobile device’s documentation for the location of its NFC radio. When
connecting your mobile device to the capture board, you might need to move the mobile
device back and forth until its NFC radio detects the capture board’s NFC tag.
Installing the app and starting it for the first time
The SMARTkapp app enables you to connect your mobile device to your capture board, view
notes you write on your capture board on your mobile device and share and save your notes. You
can install the app on your mobile device by scanning your capture board’s QR code or by tapping
its NFC tag.
