Operating several nodes in datalogging mode (broadcast method)
•
Establish communication with several nodes on the same frequency under one
base station.
•
Configure each node individually for a datalogging session as described in the
Operating one node in datalogging mode
section above. Normally all nodes
would be set to the same sample rate, sweep rate, channel actions, etc. for any
given session but there is no requirement to do this.

•
Click Broadcast and the broadcast menu appears.
•
Click Erase. A confirming message box will appear. Click Yes. A progress bar
will appear and disappear. This indicates that the datalogging memory of the all
the nodes was successfully erased.
•
Click Broadcast and the broadcast menu appears.
•
Click Trigger. The trigger datalogging command will be broadcast to all nodes.
The activity LED on the nodes or elapsed time should be observed to determine
when the datalogging session has ended. There is no individual response to Agile-
Link™ from the nodes when they are completed datalogging.
•
Note: Any number of datalogging sessions can be run consecutively before
downloading. Please review the
Datalogging Memory
section of this manual for
capacity details.
•
Proceed to download datalogging from each node individually as described in the
Operating one node in datalogging mode
section above. Broadcast does not
allow downloading of several nodes coincidentally.
