What is the Vector Live App

The Vector iPad App is designed specifically for use with Vector Devices and enables you to capture live data directly from an iPad completely independent of your OpenField console

Minimum Requirements

1. Vector Device on Firmware 6.08 or later
2. Vector Receiver on Firmware 6.08 or later
3. Apple iPad - Wi-Fi (iOS 12.1 or later)

Getting Started with Vector Live

1. Download Vector Live from the app store. 

   

2. Open the Vector Live App, login using your OpenField credentials, and select your region. Please ensure you have internet connection to complete this step.

   Vector Live App versions greater than 1.4 are compatible with sub user account logins and can be used in multi user set ups. 

   

   NOTE: for performance reasons, once logged in you are unable to log out. To use Vector Live with a different account, please uninstall and re-install the application and follow step 2 above.

3. Power on the Vector Receiver(s) by holding the power button for ~2 seconds.

4. Connect the Vector Receiver to the iPad via Wifi. 

   • On the iPad, navigate to Settings -> Wi-Fi.

   • The Wi-Fi network will be named 'Catapult Receiverxx', where xx = Receiver ID, located on the rear of the Receiver.

   • Press the Receiver Network and enter in the password located on the back of the Receiver.

     

   • Open Vector Live and check for receiver connection. Connection is indicated by the green icon in the top right corner of the app. Your Vector Receiver battery status will be displayed here also.
     
     

5. Once the Vector Receiver is connected the number of athletes detected is displayed, and the 'Start Activity' button will be visible. 

6. Turn the Vector Devices on. Ensure the Vector Receiver's Network Indicator LED is flashing light blue and the Vector Device's Ultra-Wideband LED is solid amber.

11. Select athletes to add to the selected period (they will turn blue) and press 'Apply'. Data will now be displayed on screen.

12. Select individual periods to view data for that period. Select the activity bar to view cumulative data across the activity. Data can be viewed in the Tile, Table or Heart Rate Dashboard. For more information on each of these Dashboards, please see our Data Dashboards section.
