V-Link®-1

Extended Range Synchronized Wireless Voltage Node Data Sheet Fast, compact, & extremely versatile, V-Link® wireless voltage nodes are designed to operate as part of a high speed wireless sensor network. Featuring 2 KHz sweep rates, combined with 2 MB flash memory, these little nodes pack a lot of power in a small package. With every node in the wireless network assigned a unique 16 bit address, a single host transceiver can address thousands of multi-channel sensor clusters. On-board sensor excitation, bridge completion, programmable gains & offsets, and differential & single ended inputs provide an extremely versatile sensor interface. Features & Benefits System Overview 2.4 GHz direct sequence spread spectrum radio is license free IEEE 802.15.4 open communication architecture supports simultaneous streaming from multiple nodes datalogging rates up to 2048 Hz, storing up to 1,000,000 real-time streaming rates up to 4 KHz programmable communication range from 70m to 2,000m regulated 3 volt sensor excitation supports most analog on-board bridge completion resistors includes internal resistor for wireless shunt calibration low power consumption for extended use internal rechargeable battery SensorCloud™ ready condition-based monitoring of machines health monitoring of structures and vehicles smart structures and materials experimental test and measurement robotics and machine automation vibration and acoustic noise testing sports performance and sports medicine analysis distributed security networks At the heart of MicroStrain's extended range synchronized (mXRS™) system is the WSDA®-Base, which uses our exclusive beaconing protocols to synch precision timekeepers embedded within each sensor node in the network. The WSDA®-Base also coordinates data collection from all sensor nodes, including V-LINK® -mXRS. Users can easily program each node on the scalable network for simultaneous, periodic, or burst mode sampling with our Node Commander® software, which then automatically configures network radio communications to maximize the aggregate sample rate.
