Introducing Agile-Link™ at the Sensors Expo in Detroit, MI

Event: Sensors Expo & Conference
 MicroStrain is a leading designer and manufacturer
of addressable, data logging wireless sensor nodes
capable of fast (2K sample/sec/channel) data rates.
Previous award winning wireless systems from
MicroStrain tightly controlled the flow of data from
sensor nodes to base station. This structure was
required to prevent nodes from interfering with one
another, due to a limited number of available radio
frequency (RF) bands. To control data flow, the
base station would request that a specific
addressable node on the network send or stream
wireless data, then, on receiving this command,
the addressable node would respond.
MicroStrain's engineers recognized a need in the sensing industry for multiple,
independent wireless sensing nodes capable of communicating over the airwaves
simultaneously. Test & measurement engineers as well as control system engineers
require strain, acceleration, torque, force, pressure, and temperature measurements to be
made at high data rates and in real time. The sensing nodes need to
be distributed over their structure or machine under test.
The wireless data obtained in real time is used to protect valuable
process equipment from overloads, or to help research engineers to
better visualize and interact with the system under test.
