HS-Link
Introduction

Fast, small, and rugged, the new HS-Link™ 100KHz high speed wireless node delivers the versatile MicroStrain® wireless sensing platform to applications that require speed. With maximum sample rates up to 100 kHz, and support for most types of analog sensors, including accelerometers, strain gauges, load cells, & pressure sensors, the node includes full strain gauge conditioning and programmable offset.

The node is designed to log data to internal memory and upload wireless data to a host computer once logging is complete. Data is collected during periodic, user definable sampling sessions, at rates up to 100 kHz. Burst data is temporarily stored in a sample buffer (125,000 data points) and is then transferred to non-volatile, internal flash memory.

The bi-directional RF communications link can trigger logging from 70 meters (up to 100 m possible), or request that stored data be transmitted to the host PC for data acquisition and analysis.

The node's scalable system architecture and programmable sensor interface enables a large network of nodes to simultaneously store dynamic data with node-to-node synchronization of +/-4 microseconds.
