To sample multiple nodes as a group, select the Base Station and then the Sampling Network tile.
As a group, they will all be set to the same sampling mode. When the Base Station is selected, all the
nodes will appear in a list with a check mark to the left, all of the nodes checked off will be included in
the sampling. Uncheck the nodes to be excluded from the sampling.
Figure 37 - Network and Node Configuration Menu
l Synchronized - By selecting Synchronized, all nodes in the network will periodically synchronize
their time clocks to a beacon that is broadcasted by the WSDA gateway. Each beacon contains
a UTC timestamp, allowing nodes to timestamp their collected data within an accuracy of +/- 50
us.
Each node will also buffer data and transmit this data in time-slots allocated prior to sampling.
Using time-slots assures the transmissions will not “collide”, or corrupt each other. It also
provides a means for efficiently scaling the size of the network to allow as much data throughput
as possible.
