Wireless Accelerometer Node
The G-Link2™ -LXRS® Wireless Accelerometer Node features
onboard triaxial or external single axis ±1 g to ±200 g MEMS
accelerometers in a small, IP67 rated enclosure. The 16-bit
G-Link2 streamlines vibration/acceleration measurement and
monitoring in remote deployments. The node can simultaneously
log data to internal memory and/or transmit realtime data to a host
computer at user programmable data rates. Node Commander®
software supports configuration of the wireless node including
discovery, initialization, radio frequency, sample rate, reading/
writing to node EEPROM, calibrating node sensors, managing
node batteries including sleep, wake, and cycle power, and
upgrading node firmware. The G-Link2™ is compatible with any
WSDA®- Base, WSDA®-1000 or SensorCloud™.
Features & Benefits
System Overview
Wireless Simplicity, Hardwired Reliability
• Small, lightweight IP67 enclosure
At the heart of LORD MicroStrain® LXRS® (Lossless Data
Wireless Sensor Networks) are WSDA® gateways, which
use our exclusive beaconing protocols to synchronize precision
timekeepers within each sensor node in the network. The
WSDA® also coordinates data collection from all sensor nodes.
Users can easily program each node on the scalable network for
simultaneous, periodic, burst, or data logging mode sampling
with our Node Commander® software, which automatically
configures radio communication to maximize the aggregate
sample rate. Optional SensorCloud™ enabled wireless
sensor data aggregators support autonomous web-based data
visualization, alerts, and reports.
• High resolution data with 16-bit A/D converter
• User programmable filters for optimized anti-aliasing
• Synchronized acceleration data with wireless sensors
