Scan hub

Upon completion of the scan, you will be presented with two options, either Scan Another Sample or Re-Do This Scan. Scan another sample will allow you to scan the same type of sample with the same description and the app will increment the sample with a 1, 2, 3 etc.  You may wish to do this for scanning multiple subsamples of a TMR mix across the length of a pen. Choosing, Re-Do this scan will overide the previous scan with a new scan.  Once a scan is complete a list of recent scans will appear within the app. which will allow you to see what you have just scanned.  

When the atomic symbol is green, the analysis has run successfully. When it’s red the analysis has not yet been completed. Dynametrix requires an internet connection to push spectra to the cloud for analysis. If a connection is lost, you can continue to scan and the software will conveniently store it locally until the connection is re-established. The app must remain open for the recent scans to be uploaded to the cloud at which point it will change from red to green. A green cloud with arrow indicates it has uploaded the results successfully.



Scan in conjunction with Cowconnect

You can also operate a quick scan via the Cowconnect portal. Dynametrix can be integrated within the Cowconnect environment facilitating user-friendly data and client management. In your Cowconnect account you will be able to see historical data, export results, configure farms and preload rations plus identify feedstuff ID’s.  In this instance when you first open your Dynametrix app, select the Cowconnect scan option and you will be taken directly to your Cowconnect login page.

You can set multiple ID’s for samples based on diet, barn, location etc… and have them tied to one or more farms or clients.  This information is seamlessly pulled by your app by selecting which profile you want to use.
