XBee Sensor Adapter

Sensor function configuration and data retrieval

Digi provides a Python module for configuring sensor functions and

retrieving data from XBee Sensor Adapters. This module is named

xbee_sensor.py and is available for downloading from

www.digi.com/din/docs, in a file named XBee Adapter Libraries. By

uploading this Python module to the gateway that serves as a coordinator

for the adapter, you can use it in your own programs. The

XBee Adapter Libraries file includes a readme file and a sample program

showing how xbee_sensor.py is used. xbee_sensor.py issues a remote

AT 1S (Force Sample) command through the XBee API and decodes the

results. See these files for more information.
