Mesh Enabled Architecture Geo-Location Reference Guide Overview The Mesh Sensor Monitor (MSM) application provides an interface that allows a user/operator to send or receive data from a remote wireless sensor node within a Mesh Enabled Architecture (MEA™) network. Sensor devices can be connected to the MEA wireless device via an RS-232 or an RS-485 interface.
Mesh Enabled Architecture Mesh Sensor Monitor Installing Mesh Sensor Monitor Insert the MEA Administration CD and install the Mesh Sensor Monitor application from /Software directory. Double click on SensorSetup.exe. The MeshSensor Systems Setup dialog will be displayed. Figure 1. MeshSensor Systems Setup – Initial Installation Dialog Click on the Next button to display the License Agreement dialog. Figure 2.
Mesh Enabled Architecture Geo-Location Reference Guide After reading the License Agreement, select the YES radio button and click on the Next button to continue. When the Ready to Install dialog is displayed, confirm the default Install and Shortcut folders and click on the Next button to proceed with the installation. Figure 3. Ready to Install Dialog If you have previously installed the Mesh Sensor Monitor application, the Notice dialog will be displayed.
Mesh Enabled Architecture Mesh Sensor Monitor For both initial installation and reinstallation of the Mesh Sensor Monitor application, the Performing Setup Actions dialog will be displayed. Figure 5. Performing Setup Actions Dialog When all installation actions have been completed, the MeshSensor Systems Installed Successfully dialog will be displayed. Click on the Finish button to dismiss the dialog and complete the installation. Figure 6.
Mesh Enabled Architecture Geo-Location Reference Guide Operation All functional operations for the MSM are performed using the Mesh Sensor Monitor Graphical User Interface (GUI). Mesh Sensor Monitor Main Window The Mesh Sensor Monitor (MSM) main window is shown in Figure 7.. This is the display configuration presented at application startup. This configuration presents four sub-windows, which are described in detail in the following sections. Figure 7.
Mesh Enabled Architecture Mesh Sensor Monitor Sensor ID Window The Sensor ID Window displayed on the Sensors tab shows a list of all sensors that have been discovered. Only active sensors are available to the user for communication. Active sensors are designated by a blinking green indicator displayed to the left of the corresponding MAC address. Devices can be sorted or identified by MAC address, IP address, name, or activity. To manage the device display attributes, right click on the device ID.
Mesh Enabled Architecture Geo-Location Reference Guide Alert Window The Alert Window displays certain events that may occur while the system is operating. These events are summarized by Event Time, MAC Address, Name, and the Status. You can choose to either enable or disable display this window by selecting the Alert Window option under the Window menu. Figure 9. Alert Window Alert Parameter Description Event Time The date and time stamp for when the event that triggered the alert was captured.
Mesh Enabled Architecture Alert Parameter Mesh Sensor Monitor Description Sensor is Resurrected – Communications have been restored for a sensor device that is currently configured in the network that was formerly unreachable. Activity Window The Activity Window displays message information, such as date and time, direction, sequence #, message size, and message data (text & hex) for the selected sensor. Figure 10.
Mesh Enabled Architecture Geo-Location Reference Guide Node Data Summary Pane The Node Data Summary Panel summarizes the number of data packets and bytes received and sent from the specified sensor node. Figure 11. Node Data Summary Pane Current Incoming Activity Window The Current Incoming Activity window is used to display serial modem activity that is currently visible to the host device executing the MSM application.
Mesh Enabled Architecture Current Incoming Activity Parameter Mesh Sensor Monitor Description formatted to remove hyphenation. The default name can be changed using the sensor properties. Direction Messages being transmitted are identified as Outbound or Inbound.
Mesh Enabled Architecture Geo-Location Reference Guide File Menu Options The MSM makes use of several file types. The *.msm file format is used to store sensor data communications activity. The *.smw file format is used to store a specific workspace configuration for future access. Open To open a sensor data capture file, select File → Open from the main menu bar on the MSM GUI: Navigate to the appropriate directory and select the file to be opened. Figure 13.
Mesh Enabled Architecture Mesh Sensor Monitor Workspace Configuration Each window within the application can be repositioned by dragging and dropping the window to a new location. Workspace windows can also be resized by selecting and dragging the desired corner. An example of a reconfigured workspace is shown in Figure 15. Figure 15. An Example of Workspace Configuration After the workspace has been configured, the entire configuration for the workspace can then be saved as a *.smw file type.
Mesh Enabled Architecture Geo-Location Reference Guide Open Workspace To open a workspace configuration file, select File → Open Workspace from the main menu bar on the MSM GUI. Navigate to the appropriate directory and select the file to be opened. Double click on the file name or click on the Open button. Figure 16. Open Workspace Dialog Save Workspace To save a workspace configuration file, select File → Save Workspace from the main menu bar on the MSM GUI.
Mesh Enabled Architecture Mesh Sensor Monitor View Menu Options In addition to options for viewing different windows and toolbars, the View menu allows you to modify the parameters on the Display (Sensor) Template. Log Entries The Log Entries Window displays the following information for all current log entries. Figure 17. Log Entries Window Log Entry Data Type Description Entry ID A sequence number assigned by the system indicating the order in which the log entry was made.
Mesh Enabled Architecture Geo-Location Reference Guide Log Entry Data Type Description Msg Type Messages will be categorized by the following types: Message Type # Displayed Text 350 Serial Data 351 GPIO Status 352 Serial + GPIO 353 Serial + GPIO 354 Hello Any Other Unknown: nnn (where nnn is the message type # that was received) Sequence An increasing number that is created at the transceiver. The first message begins with zero and every new message increments by one.
Mesh Enabled Architecture Mesh Sensor Monitor Sensor Templates View Window Activating the Sensor Templates View Window displays the configuration parameters for existing sensor template in columnar format. Figure 18. Sensor Templates View Window Sensor Templates View Column Header Description Template Name The name of the template whose parameters will apply to the group of sensors being monitored. Sensor Type User assigned sensor type. This can be changed using the Sensor Template.
Mesh Enabled Architecture Geo-Location Reference Guide Sensor Templates View Column Header Description Send Send Carriage Return characters in outbound data strings. Send Send Line Feed characters in outbound data strings. Display Timestamp Display the timestamp. Sensor Template Each sensor in the Sensor ID Window can be uniquely configured using a sensor template. The template is accessed by double-clicking on the Sensor ID displayed in the Sensor ID Window.
Mesh Enabled Architecture Mesh Sensor Monitor Sensor Template Parameter Description Sensor Model: A user specified characteristic of the sensor to be used for reporting. The sensor model name should serve as a reminder of the type of sensor data being reported, the location of the sensor, etc. Offline Detection Timeout (sec): If no message is received within this timeout period, a sensor timeout is reported. A sensor timeout generally indicates a radio link failure.
Mesh Enabled Architecture Geo-Location Reference Guide When the List View display setting is selected on the Sensor Template display dialog (Figure 20), data can be labeled and delimited by columns. Column widths can be set by position and data width. Figure 20. User Defined Data Columns Dialog User Defined Data Columns Parameter Definition Heading A logical title for the column of data to be displayed. Heading Width The width in characters of a specific data column.
