Studio Six's iOS remote app for SMAART 7 hit the app store a week ago. I haven't tried it yet. Looks pretty slick.

I like the idea, but I am wondering what the difference between this and just using a VNC client to connect either iPhone or iPad to remote view smaart. This will also give you full mouse control if you need to adjust delay etc.

The SSD remote app allows one to choose which measurement engine is displayed on the screen, and also turn on/off the generator, and manipulate the delay time and turn on/off the delay tracking feature remotely.  It may be more efficient in updating the data on your iPad than a VNC client, since only measurement engine data is being transmitted over your wifi connection.

Does iRemote maintain the connection when backgrounded on the iPad?

I haven't bought it yet, but I would expect SSD's iRemote to function when something else is in front on the analysis machine, i.e. the program running your system controller. Using the iPad as a second display should get you real-time response to your system changes without having to toggle back and forth between analysis and control programs on the laptop.

At present, no, but it's very quick to re-establish the connection with just one finger tap to select the Smaart 7 host.  Hopefully that gets addressed in an upcoming release.

Steven,

VNC clients certainly work well enough. The primary advantage of a dedicated remote application is having a UI that was designed for the smaller screen.

Does it take advantage of multitouch?

If by multitouch you mean the ability to zoom, pan, or swipe a cursor on the screen, then yes.

I bought a Ipad and the remote . I "tested" it for a moment and it worked . Have to see how it works during a real live tuning (probably next week) .

I have not found the ability to save a measurement via the space bar yet if it's in there . Do not know so maybe anybody else who knows ?
