Step 5. Attach Sensors and Signal Lines

Attach sensors and signal lines to the terminal block or accessory 
terminals for each device. For device pinouts, refer to the device 
documentation.

Step 6. Start Using the NI WSN System

To use the NI WSN system, open a new LabVIEW project. If the 
gateway is on the local subnet, complete the following steps: 

1. Right-click the project name and select 

New»Targets and 

Devices

. In the Add Targets and Devices on My Project dialog 

box, select 

Existing target or device 

and expand the 

WSN Gateway

 folder. When you expand the WSN Gateway 

folder, the network is scanned for any connected NI WSN 
gateway devices. Wait for device detection.

2. Once detected, click the NI WSN gateway device you wish to 

use and click

OK

. Clicking 

OK

 adds the NI WSN-9791 or 

NI 9792 device to the Project Explorer window.
