Answer»
- With the LabVIEW Wireless Sensor Network Module you can use graphical programming to customize node behavior by adding intelligence to extend battery life, increase analog and digital input performance, and INTERFACE with custom sensors. You can also use the module to embed local intelligence, respond to digital value change EVENTS, and modify behavior based on measurement inputs.
- The default behavior of an NI measurement node is to transmit every sample acquired to the gateway; however, this is not a requirement for many applications and the LabVIEW WSN Module can be used to average samples over time and provide threshold or dead-band LOGIC, allowing you to extend battery life by transmitting only meaningful data. Additionally, acquisition rates on the node can be increased by not incurring the overhead of transmitting each sample after acquisition. Using the LabVIEW WSN Module, you can then perform processing and data reduction on the node. LabVIEW WSN applications are downloaded over the air to NI WSN measurement nodes, allowing seamless UPDATES to deployed nodes.
- Only the programmable versions of the measurement nodes can be targeted by the LabVIEW WSN Module Pioneer.
