Data Sheet Analog Output Base Station Features & Benefits Support for hundreds of simultaneously sampling wireless sensor nodes Node to node synchronization of+/- 32 microseconds Ultra-stable on-board precision timing reference of +/- 3 ppm over industrial temperature range Extended wireless communication range to 2 km 8 channel support for Analog DAQ's Stand alone operation using front panel buttons Condition based monitoring of machines and aircraft Health monitoring of civil structures and vehicles Embedded OEM sensing systems 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 The WSDA® -Base-101 Analog Output Base Station operates asan integral part of MicroStrain® mXRS™ Wireless Sensor Networks. It provides seamless communication between a host PC, single board computer, or microcontroller and remote wireless nodes. Coupled with MicroStrain® Node Commander® software, the WSDA® -Base-101 supports configuration of the wireless nodes including discovery, initialization, radio frequency, sample rate, reading/writing to node EEPROM, calibrating node sensors, managing node batteries including sleep, wake, and cycle power, and upgrading node firmware. The WSDA® -Base-101 supports all data acquisition sessions between wireless nodes and host computers including Synchronized Sampling (both Continuous and Burst modes), Armed Datalogging, Datalogging, Streaming and Legacy Low Duty Cycle. WSDA® -Base-101 has an analog out back panel that supports analog data acquisition equipment (DAQs). Up to 8 sensor channels from one or multiple wireless nodes operating in low duty cycle mode can be fed into a DAQ with simultaneous digital feed to PC, or a DAQ with PC removed (stand-alone configuration). System Overview At the heart of MicroStrain's mXRS™ Wireless Sensor Networks is the WSDA® -Base, which uses our exclusive beaconing protocols to synchronize precision timekeepers embedded within each sensor node in the network. The WSDA® -Base also coordinates data collection from all sensor nodes. Users can easily program each node on the scalable network for simultaneous, periodic, or burst mode sampling with our Node Commander® software, which automatically configures network radio communications to maximize the aggregate sample rate.
