When no longer docked to the Awinda Station the MTw will activate its radio and start to
search for an Awinda Master to connect wirelessly to. All possible channels are scanned, but
the MTw will connect to the channel, which has an Awinda Master available. If multiple
Awinda Masters are active, the MTw will automatically pick the channel with the best
(strongest) wireless link. Since each channel is scanned, it will take a few seconds to connect.
NOTE: If you experience a very poor wireless connection, or slow detection of MTw’s, select
a different wireless channel in the wireless configuration or turn-off potential sources of 2.4
GHz radiation (Bluetooth, WiFi, walkie-talkies, etc.)
6.5.5 Connecting MTw’s to an Awinda Master
When a connection has been established
between the Awinda Master and the
MTw’s, each MTw appears in the list on
the right hand side, with an indication of
the signal strength.
As each new MTw is detected, the
maximum Update Rate (marked as “Rate
(Hz)”) will decrease as appropriate.
The LED on the MTw will blink synchronously with the LED of the Awinda USB Dongle or with
the CONN LED of the Awinda Station, when a successful link has been established.
The user should decide which of the
detected MTw’s to use in the
measurements. To disconnect a given
Awinda Master and an MTw, right click
over the MTw, and select “Reject for
Station: <StationID>”. Where Station ID is
the serial number of the Awinda Master
in use.
