WSDA-2000

Description

The LORD Sensing Wireless Sensor Network is a high-speed, scalable, sensor data acquisition and sensor networking system.  Each system consists of wireless sensor interface nodes, a data collection gateway, and full-featured user software platforms based on the LORD Sensing Lossless Extended Range Synchronized (LXRS) and LXRS+ data communications protocols.  Bi- directional wireless communication between the node and gateway enables sensor data collection and configuration. Gateways can be connected locally to a host computer or remotely via local and mobile networks. Some gateways also feature analog outputs for porting sensor data directly to stand-alone data acquisition equipment.

• Gateway Overview

  The WSDA-2000 is a data acquisition gateway designed to configure, co-ordinate, and collect sensor data from LORD Sensing wireless sensor nodes. The gateway supports all data acquisition sessions between wireless nodes and host computers including: continuous sampling, burst sampling, and datalogging. The gateway also facilitates precision sampling synchronization between sensor nodes by transmitting a continuous, system-wide timing reference known as the beacon. Communication between the nodes and gateway is wireless and uses the LORD Sensing LXRS and LXRS+ data communications protocols. The WSDA-2000 utilizes Ethernet and USB interfaces to transfer data from the wireless nodes to a host computer for viewing, analysis, and storage. It also provides a CAN data ouput.
