4.3.2 Get Readings from the End Device (continued)

ID: End Device ID/address

Sequence

: Sequence number [0-255 ].

The Sequence number is incremented for each newly received data. Therefore, it

indicates if the sensor is transmitting data successfully.

Strength

: It is the radio signal strength (0-100%), the higher the better.

Success

: 0-100%, a low success rate indicates a longer data delay, shorter

battery lifetime and high network traffic.

Battery

: The total voltage of the battery in the End Device. Once the voltage

gets to 3.0V, the batteries should be replaced.

Update

: The time interval the wiDR received data from the End Device.

Running/Lost

: It displays “Running” if the wiDR is receiving packages from the

End Device. It displays “Lost” if the wiDR has not received data from the End

Device.

Data Logging

: Press to activate/de-activate data logging. When it is pressed to

activate data logging, a file browser pops up to ask for which file data will be

saved. Data is in Comma Separated Value (csv) format, which can also be

opened in Excel. Please name file with .csv extension.

Figure 4.8 Comma Separated Value Format

Columns from left to right: Date and time, Device ID, Device Name, Reading 1,

Unit 1, Reading 2, Unit 2, Sequence number, Signal strength, Success Rate, Battery

Voltage, Status, Update, Next Device ID, Next Device Name (up to 8 End Devices).

ACTIVE data is currently being logged in the specified file.

INACTIVE data logging is not executed.

Refresh

: How often the current applet asks for data from the embedded server.

Ensure Java Runtime Environment is setup. Refer to Section 4.3.3 before

activating data logging
