Start Collecting Data 

 

There are several ways to collect data from the G-Link-200, including from a single node, a network of 
nodes, or restarting the last used sampling mode, by pressing and holding the start button until the LED 
light turns blue. 

 

Single node -  From Devices, select Node > Sampling > Apply and Start Network to begin 

collecting data from a single wireless sensor.
