Click Monitor Mode. 

 

The Sampled Data frame will appear. 

 

After a moment, a Node will appear, e.g. Node 10, as shown in the 

Figure 4

 

 

Figure 4 

 

 

The Node is the EH-Link

 and in our example we see an EH-Link

 with address 10. 

 

Note:

 Every EH-Link

 has a unique address.  These addresses are used by Node 

Commander

®

 to identify and operate multiple EH-Link

™ 

at the same time.  

 

Click the + sign to the left of the Node in the Sampled Data frame. 

 

The Sample Rate, Total Samples, Timer Tick (time stamp) and other information will 
appear. 

 

By default, the EH-Link

™ 

comes with its sample rate set at 1 Hz, i.e. 1 sample per 

second.  You will see that the Channel 1 value is being refreshed every 1 second, 
indicating that the EH-Link

™ 

is successfully communicating. 

 

Powering the EH-Link

™ 

with the Solar Demo Board

 

 

Remove the 9 volt battery from the Battery Clip. 

 

Disconnect the red and black leads of the Battery Clip from the EH-Link

™ 

and set these 

aside. 

 

In Node Commander

®

, click the red X on the Sampled Data frame. 

 

The Close Sampled Data Window will appear as shown in 

Figure 5

 

Click Exit, Nodes Continue and the Sampled Data frame will disappear.
