2.4 GHz Wireless Accelerometer Node

Introduction Features & Benefi ts

Combining MEMS accelerometers with MicroStrain’s award- winning Micro Datalogging Transceiver systems, G-Link® is a high speed, triaxial accelerometer node, designed to operate as part of an integrated wireless sensor network system.Featuring 2 KHz sweep rates, combined with 2 Mbytes of fl ash memory, these little nodes pack a lot of power in a small package. Every node in the wireless network is assigned a unique 16 bit address, so a single host transceiver can address thousands of multichannel sensor nodes. • 2.4 GHz direct sequence spread spectrum radio is license free worldwide• IEEE 802.15.4 open communication architecture • supports simultaneous streaming from multiple nodes to PC • Available with 2 g or 10 g range• datalogging rates up to 2048 Hz • real-time streaming rates up to 736 Hz • on-board memory stores up to 1,000,000 measurements • communication range up to 70m line-of-sight • low power consumption for extended use Available in 2 g or 10 g range, these small, fast, wireless accelerometers can be used to monitor tilt and vibration in a wide range of machines and structures. A Software Development Kit is available, which includes fully-commented source code and a compiled executable for: Microsoft® C++ 6.0, Microsoft® Visual Studio C++ .NET 7.1, Microsoft® VB 6.0, Microsoft® VB.NET 2003, Microsoft® VB.NET 2005 and LabVIEW® 7.1. The bi-directional RF communications link can trigger a sample to be logged from 70 meters, or request real-time data to be transmitted to the host PC for data acquisition/analysis. The frequency agile system enables simultaneous real-time streaming from up to 16 nodes in the 2.4 GHz range.

Applications
