System overview
The wireless system complies with IEEE802.15.4 opearting at 2.4 GHz which is license free worldwide.
At predetermined time intervals radio modules perform measurements and send data to Base Station.
In between measurements, modules go to sleep mode savings batteries. This extends battery lifetime
even to a few years (depends on measurement frequency).
When module is active, PC connected to Base Station (network coordinator) can read measurement data and
also can change configuration of the system ( measurement intervals, measurement function or range, ... ) .
Data from all sensors are transmitted from Base Station to PC via USB interface in real time.
With the KESTbee Windows software we can program system parameters, record data to disk,
view actual or historic data in numerical and time-base chart format .
Main functions of the software
- Reading of the measurement data from all sensors connected to the wireless network
- Presenting data in numerical or time-base chart format in real time
- Logging data into data base end/or text files
- Configure wireless network and sensor modules
- Presenting historic data from data base in time-base charts
- Export of selected data into text files ( can be opened up in Microsoft Excel )
