MicroStrain speeds up Agile-Link 2.4 GHz wireless sensor nodes
The latest version of Agile-Link wireless nodes have real-time streaming rates up to 4 KHz. This is a 6X increase in sample rate, compared to previous models. Models which support high-speed streaming rates are: G-Lin wireless triaxial accelerometer node, V-Link wireless voltage node and SG-Link wireless strain gauge node.

Agile-Link® wireless nodes now feature real-time streaming rates up to 4 KHzWilliston, Vermont – February 7, 2007 - MicroStrain Inc has released the latest version of its Agile-Link® wireless nodes which feature real-time streaming rates up to 4 KHz. This is a significant increase in sample rate, which opens up many new applications for wireless sensor networks. The Agile-Link nodes which support high-speed streaming rates are: G-Lin ® wireless triaxial accelerometer node, V-Link® wireless voltage node and SG-Link® wireless strain gauge node. These nodes continue to offer incredible flexibility with low-duty cycle mode and stand alone data-logging capability.

Applications:

  • Condition based monitoring of machinery for predictive maintenance.
  • Impact and crash testing.
  • Measuring torque, strain and load on rotating equipment.
  • Vibration monitoring and modal analysis.
  • Supports simultaneous streaming of real-time, high-speed data from up to 16 nodes.
  • RF communications band: 2.4 GHz direct sequence spread spectrum, IEEE 802.15.4 radio standard.
  • Wireless communications range: 70 meters line-of-sight with standard antennas or 300 meters line-of-sight with high-gain antennas.
  • Real-time streaming rates up to 4 KHz.
  • Data-logging sample rates up to 2048 Hz.
  • 2 MB Flash memory stores up to 1,000,000 data points.
  • Internal lithium ion rechargeable battery and advanced energy saving features
  • Open serial protocol enables users to develop high speed applications in LabVIEW – other operating modes are supported in LabVIEW, Visual Basic and C++ using low-cost software development kit.
