There are three user-set sampling options for the G-Link-200-OEM, including Lost Beacon
Timeout, Diagnostic Info Interval, and Storage Limit Mode, in the Wireless Node Configuration
> Sampling menu.
Figure 13. Sampling Configuration Menu
Lost Beacon Timeout
- When the node is running in a synchronized network, it periodically
synchronizes its time clock to a beacon broadcasted from the WSDA gateway. The Lost
Beacon Timeout feature means that the node will automatically stop sampling and transmitting
data after the beacon has been lost for the configured amount of time. The node will save
power in this state without user intervention until the beacon returns. Within two minutes of the
beacon returning, the node will automatically begin sampling and transmitting data again.
Diagnostic Info Interval
- At the defined transmit interval, the wireless sensor will report
diagnostic information. The node will continue to transmit this diagnostic information in all
operating modes, including Idle, Sleep, and Run modes.
Storage Limit Mode
- The Storage Limit Mode applies when the node is datalogging to
internal flash. The two available options are: 1)
Stop
- when the node fills up its flash memory,
it will stop logging data. It is important to erase old data before starting new data logging
sessions, and 2)
Overwrite
- when the node fills up its flash memory, new data will overwrite
old data in a first-in, first-out method.
