How to use Direct Connect mode

Direct Connect Mode allows you to connect directly to configured Right Weigh gauges through the V-DAQ TAG to view live vehicle mass information without creating or selecting a vehicle configuration. 

 

Before You Begin

Before using Direct Connect Mode, ensure:

  • You are signed in to the Wireless OBM App.
  • Your V-DAQ TAG has been connected and configured.
  • Right Weigh gauges have been installed and configured.
  • Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device.
  • You are within Bluetooth range of the V-DAQ TAG.

Important: V-DAQ TAG connection and configuration must be completed before accessing Direct Connect Mode for live weights.

Step 1 – Open Direct Connect Mode
