BLE Connection
To begin interfacing with the Sparrow Link Pulse Generator using the Sparrow Link Hub, use the BLE connection methods to establish a pairing between the Pulse Generator and the Hub. When done, Disconnect the pairing.
Note: After a factory reset or update to the Sparrow Link Pulse Generator, it may take two attempts to connect to the app or Hub. If the first attempt fails, cancel BLE advertising from the Pulse Generator and restart the connection steps.
When accurate timestamps of device interactions are needed, the ConnectSync() call is recommended. This call ensures that the Pulse Generator's internal clock is set to the same date and time settings as the computer connected to the Hub.
