Today, MicroStrain announces additions to our wireless gateway offerings with two new base stations, and upgraded Node Commander software. The three available base stations are:
- WSDA-Base-104 USB Base Station: Our current USB base station continues to be a primary base station offering, and has been renamed WSDA-Base 104. It connects to host pc by USB and is included in all wireless sensor node starter kits. For starter kits with alternate base stations, customers can contact MicroStrain’s sales department.
- New! WSDA-Base-101 Analog Output Base Station: WSDA-Base 101 offers 8 channels of user assignable analog output and is ideal for those who require communication with existing analog data acquisition systems. WSDA-Base -101 has two buttons on the front panel that can be programmed using Node Commander to perform user selectable functions, including, pair node, initiate sampling, arm & trigger data logging, sleep node and sleep/wake node.
- New! WSDA-Base-102-RS-232 Serial Output Base Station: WSDA-Base-102 offers a serial RS232 communication interface, accommodating users with serial communication needs common in industrial applications such as connecting to PLC’s.
Node Commander software will also be upgraded to fully support the new base stations’ features and options, and will be fully compatible with Netbooks. When purchasing a new WSDA-Base, it will be necessary to have the latest version of Node Commander, Version 2.4 which will be made available when units begin shipping on December 15th, 2011.
