Get familiar with Otii 3 Desktop App

The Otii 3 Desktop App is designed as a robust software with a user-friendly interface, divided into multiple sections, enabling easy access across all tools and functions to record, validate, and analyze measurements of devices under test (DUTs) or batteries.

Discover each button and feature included in the Otii 3 Desktop App Toolbar.

The Qoitech User Management Portal enables users to manage the Otii Product Suite – where the Otii 3 Desktop App can be downloaded, support cases managed, and licenses for Otii Toolbox, such as the Otii Battery Toolbox and Automation Toolbox can be acquired, shared, and returned.

Otii Toolbox licenses can be managed in multiple ways, allowing flexibility when working across different computers and not having to strictly rely only on one license locally. Likewise, the sharing features can be used for collaborative management between colleagues, partners, or production centers.

To manage Otii Toolbox licenses properly, it is essential to have a good understanding of:

Reserving and returning licenses enables a desktop application with additional licensed features, not relying on a single computer. Instead, it can work on multiple computers. Imagine a practical and typical case of a developer's life. Joe is working on his Otii 3 projects on his desktop computer at the office but then decides to work from home on his laptop the next day. Due to this, he manages to return the license from the desktop office computer and reserves it on his laptop, giving him the possibility to make use of a unique license without the need to rely on multiple licenses, one per computer.

Additionally, the licenses can be reassigned or shared between users:

Moving and sharing licenses facilitates smooth and flexible collaborations between colleagues, partners, and production centers when developing battery-driven hardware products. No matter the stage of the project, multiple users can validate and analyze the measurements without even being in the same office or, even better, in the same city or country.

Otii 3 Desktop App provides help resources to assist users in better understanding and navigating the tool's functionalities.

Context help

It's a help resource in the form of an information box displayed automatically at the bottom right of the Otii 3 Desktop App when a new project is started. The Context help allows users to do a mouse hover between the tool's functionalities, like buttons, and will share a detailed description of the features of such functionality.

The context help can be removed so that it is not automatically displayed when starting a new project. To do so, uncheck the "Show this help at startup" option. Alternatively, go to "Help > Toggle context" help to display it, or simply use the shortcut ?

Quick help

It is a table providing complete information on using keyboard commands to navigate, configure, analyze, and debug the collected measurements on the Otii 3 Desktop App.

The Quick Help can be displayed using the shortcut H, or access it by clicking "Help > Toggle quick help."
