Software Updates
QML800 controller uses an Android application called BuildView. This software is
what allows you to see the architectural drawings on the controller.
It is recommended that you check for updates occasionally (once per quarter)
Connect Controller Tablet to the internet
Find a hot spot (work office, Starbucks, etc.)
Go to settings, select Wi-Fi
Select appropriate Wi-Fi network to connect (you may need username
and/or password if network is secure)
Go to app store (Google Playstore) – Search “QuickMark Layout 2.0”
If an upgrade is available, it will be indicated.

Power ON one Laser Unit (LU) at a time- waiting 3 to 5 seconds between powering laser units. The first LU
powered on becomes the Wi-Fi Host and shows a green 360 sensor. The second LU powered on becomes
the Client and shows a blue 360 sensor. If powered on at the same time, they may both become hosts with
green lights. If this happens power off one laser unit and then power on again.
After the Laser Units are powered on, launch the QML application on the controller. It will search for a QML
network and join it. If the Laser Units are not powered on, you can only work off-line.
