Introduction
The SNYPER range of cellular signal analysers are equipped with a built-in display for viewing survey results. Given their compact screen size, users may opt to view survey results on a smartphone or tablet to benefit from a larger display. Apple devices running iOS 14 or later are able to read data from an external hard drive, users can utilise this functionality to directly view/download survey results once a SNYPER is connected.
Objective
This application note provides guidance on how to access files from the SNYPER’s internal hard drive using an iOS device.
Requirements
• iPhone or iPad running iOS 14 or later.
• Lightning to USB Camera Adapter or, Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter.
• A file manager app installed on the device (e.g., Files by Apple).
• USB-A to USB-C that supports data transmission.
Siretta has tested and verified a suitable Lightning to USB Camera Adapter for use with the SNYPER:

You can use the Files app or other supported apps that provide access to files stored on external devices.
5. Select ‘Browse’ and then, under ‘Locations’, select ‘SNYPER-HDD’ from the list of storage devices.
Accessing the hard drive
In the SNYPER’s file directory, folders are labelled according to the date the survey took place (year/month/day).
1. Browse the folders to find the desired survey.
2. Select the ‘HTML’ subfolder.
3. Open the desired HTML report.
The HTML file will launch in the default browser. Use pinch-to-zoom gestures on the HTML page to enhance visibility of the content. Alternatively, rotate the device to landscape orientation.
