4.  RF to USB Data Collection Demo

The RF to USB kit features a wireless data sensor demonstration. This demo uses one or more node boards to
transmit analog data (temperature and a potentiometer value) to a USB dongle at a fixed frequency of 919.84 MHz.

Refer to "3. Quick Start" on page 1 for installation and basic use. Detailed options follow.

4.1.  PC Application Features

Figure 10. RF to USB Network Demo

1.

USB Dongle ID

Each dongle has a unique identifier. In the case of two or more dongles connected to the PC, this window lets 
you select which one you would like to connect to.

2.

Connect / Disconnect

This button establishes or removes a connection between the PC application and a specific dongle.

3.

Identify

In the case of two or more dongles connected to the PC, this button will flash the yellow ID on the dongle to 
identify. This is also useful to test communication between the PC and the dongle.
