MobileCollect QuickStart

Welcome to MobileCollect, let's get your measurement collection system setup!

Let’s start by communicating with the Base

  1. Download and install Xpress Setup.
    • If you already have Xpress Setup or Extended Setup installed you’ll need to update to the latest version to communicate with the new EVO Bases. 
  2. Plug the MobileCollect Base into your computer via USB.
  3. Open Xpress Setup and click on the “Find Base” button.
  4. You should see the base description in green.
    • Click the “Base Info & Config” button if you would like to see additional information about your new MobileCollect Base.

Pairing your Transmitter with Xpress Setup

  1. If you ordered the MobileCollect Base and MobileCollect Transmitter as a kit they are most likely already paired.
    • To test this, select the box “Enable communication test” under ”Communication Test”
    • This box should turn black when it’s ready to accept data.
    • Take a reading with your gage and you should see the measurement show up here.
  2. If  you need to pair your Transmitter and Base, follow the instructions on the video “Associate Mobile Module using Xpress Setup.”

Pairing on the Fly - No Setup Software Needed

If you are unable to download our setup software, you can pair MobileCollect Transmitters on the fly. This process can be done with all MobileCollect Base Receivers, Mobile Module Transmitters and Remote Transmitters.
