2.4 GHz Wireless Sensor Nodes Get Faster
Agile-Link wireless nodes can now stream data at rates up to 4 kHz. This increase in sample rate allows them to be used in automotive testing applications, such as impact and crash testing and vibration monitoring and modal analysis. The sensors use an open serial protocol that enables users to develop high speed applications with LabVIEW, Visual Basic and C++.
Specifications include:
- simultaneous streaming of real-time, high-speed data from up to 16 nodes;
- 2.4 GHz RF communications using the IEEE 802.15.4 standard;
- wireless communications range of 70 meters using standard antennas or 300 meters line-of-sight with high-gain antennas;
- data-logging sample rates up to 2048 Hz; and
- 2 MB flash memory storage of up to 1,000,000 data points.
