With the world moving towards iPad I would love to be able to run i1P on my iPad (at least on the iPad3). It would be great to be able to hook up iSis and iO table to iPad 3 and do some profiling.
Is this possible? doable? using Apple dock connector or maybe wirelessly using wifi or bluetooth?
It is possible to connect through Bluetooth or WiFi, there are means to connect USB devices to iOS through such adapters, well-known and field-proven. The simplest way is to have GUI on a portable device and send CGATS via some web form to calculate profiles. This solves licensing problems as well. Should be also taken into account that computational power of mobile devices increase, so it is not wise to rule the idea out based on current state of devices. Ideally spectrophotometers should have wireless interfaces embedded - even when used with notebooks and desktops. Serial-to-wireless chips are peanuts now. -- Iliah Borg ib@pochtar.com
