The ARDI Icon
The ARDI icon found in the bottom-right of the screen performs two functions.
Connecting To Other Servers
If you'd like to change the ARDI server you're connected to, simply touch the icon. It will pop open your list of recent servers and allow you to add new ones if you wish.
Connection Status
The colour of your ARDI icon also gives you the current connection status.
Note that ARDI-AR doesn't maintain a permanent connection to ARDI - it only connects when you are looking at an asset. For this reason, it will spend quite a lot of time in the grey (disconnected) state.
| Colour | State | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Black/Grey | Disconnected | Connection is not needed, or has failed. |
| Green | Connected | Live data is coming in |
| Flashing Red | Connecting | Live data is not currently being read |
| Flashing Purple | Server Full | Live data is not currently being read |
If you are nearing the maximum number of concurrent users on your ARDI server, ARDI-AR may begin to 'fight' other clients, trying to get new data updates. In this case, you will see the icon occasionally flash green (connected) as it briefly connects, then fall back to flashing purple (server full).
