Driver sensing nodes and network configuration

For the global network and nodes settings use the Inertia Studio tool (fig. 4.1). The tool also provides information about active nodes, their ID, battery status and signal strength. Please pay special attention to the global (fig. 4.2) and sensor (fig. 4.3) sampling frequency. For the correct function of the driver, all sampling frequencies need to be the same.

The highest processing and transmission rates are achieved when using sampling frequency 1000 Hz. For higher frequencies, the sampled values are merged into larger packets; however, these packets are sent with the frequency 1000 Hz. After processing the packet, the driver provides the last sampled (the newest) value. Other values from the packet remain unused.

For more information about wireless network or sensing nodes configuration, supported sensors and V-Mon 4000 parameters please see the V-Mon 4000 User Guide[4].
