The buttons
, marked with
blue
in Figure 22, have the following functions:
– Refresh
This button can be used to request
all
the configurations from
all
nodes.
The purpose is to make sure that configurations are successfully applied and cor-
rectly retrieved by Inertia Studio.
– Store
This button stores the current configuration of the
checked
nodes in their
flash memory, so the settings are retained when the nodes are turned off. The
button is
not visible
if configurations are automatically stored (Section 4.11.2).
– Restore
This button can be used to restore
all
the configurations of the
checked
nodes. The nodes are reset to their factory-default settings.
– Apply Settings
This button applies all the modified settings (shown bold in the sen-
sor tree) to the
checked
nodes in the list. If no settings are modified, the currently
shown settings are applied If settings are stored automatically, a 15 second count-
down is shown.
– Close
This button closes the window, discarding all modified settings.
•
The settings panel
, marked with
yellow
in Figure 22, shows the settings available for
the selected configuration option of the selected node in the node list. These settings
are discussed in detail in the subsequent sections. When invalid or not recommended
settings are used, these settings are marked with a red (invalid) or orange (not recom-
mended) colour. Invalid settings cannot be applied. Error, warning and information
messages are shown below the
Apply Settings
and
Close
buttons. The settings panel
also contains a
Refresh
and
Restore
button at the top-left corner. These buttons can be
used to refresh or restore the
selected
configuration of the
selected
node.

Global settings
By selecting the
Global
configuration option from the sensor tree, the global settings can be
edited, as shown in Figure 23:
•
Transmit Data
: Data transmission can be switched off by unchecking the check-box. Nodes
keep sampling (i.e. to store data in the flash memory).
•
Sampling Rate (Hz)
: Selects the sampling rate used by the sensors. Some sensors may be
limited to a lower sampling rate. When using
Synchronous
sampling mode, the default max-
imum number of nodes supported by the network for a selected sampling rate is shown on
the right. The maximum sampling rate is 1000 Hz.
•
No. of Nodes
: The number of nodes in the network to which the device is currently con-
figured. For gateways this can be modified to match the configuration of the node(s). For
nodes this is automatically changed to match the gateway settings.
