General

The PhotosynQ Android app supports two separate workflows:

1. Account workflows for Projects, Quick Measurements, locally stored measurements, and cloud synchronization.
2. Local MultispeQ QC for checking a connected instrument before data collection.

The menu also provides PhotoQ (AI Assistant) to approved users. PhotoQ uses its own email-passcode session and requires an internet connection.

Internet connection

An internet connection is required to sign in, refresh Projects and protocols, and upload measurements. Sign-in uses the account password followed by a one-time code sent to the account email address. See Sign In to PhotosynQ for the complete flow.

The Android app does not remember a verified device in this initial release. After signing out or when a new sign-in is required, complete email verification again.

Once the required Project and protocol information has synchronized, Project measurements can be collected offline and uploaded later from Measurements.

Enable WiFi only in Settings if synchronization should not use mobile data.

MultispeQ Device QC and Field QC use protocols bundled with the app. QC does not require Project membership and its reports are stored locally rather than uploaded as Project measurements.

Bluetooth

The Android app communicates with a MultispeQ over Bluetooth. Pairing may request PIN 1234. After pairing, select the instrument in the app's device list.

The MultispeQ icon in the upper-right corner opens the device connection screen. Connection status is shared across Project, Quick Measurement, and QC workflows.

Local data

• Pending Project measurements remain on the phone until uploaded or deleted.
• Quick Measurements are stored locally and appear in Measurements.
• QC reports are stored under the connected MultispeQ device ID so reports from different instruments are not mixed.
• A Field QC result is valid for the current connection. Reconnect the instrument and rerun Field QC before a new collection run.

Power use

During measurements, the app keeps the phone awake to preserve Bluetooth communication. Charge both the phone and MultispeQ before extended field collection.
