Fast, compact, & extremely versatile, V-Linkή wireless voltage nodes are designed to operate as part of a high speed wireless sensor network.Featuring 2 KHz sweep rates, combined with 2 Mbytes fl ash 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 & off sets, and diff erential & single ended inputs provide an extremely versatile sensor interface.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.The scaleable system architecture and programmable sensor interface enables a new generation of wireless sensor networks. The V-LINK is compatible with a wide range of analog sensors, including strain gauges, displacement sensors, load cells, torque transducers, pressure sensors, accelerometers, geophones, temperature sensors, inclinometers, and others.A Software Development Kit is available, which includes fully-commented source code and a compiled executable for: Microsoftή C++ 6.0, Microsoft Visual Studio C++ .NET 7.1, Microsoftή VB 6.0, Microsoft VB.NET 2003, Microsoftή VB.NET 2005 and LabVIEW 7.1.
