6.5.7 Wireless Connection with the Awinda USB Dongle

The procedure to connect to the Awinda USB Dongle is the same as connecting to the

Awinda Station. Therefore, follow the steps described above. One possible scenario when

using the Dongle is that it is possible that both the Station and the Dongle (therefore two

Awinda Masters) are connected to the PC via the USB port. If only a wireless connection with

the Dongle is needed, then ensure that the radio of the <Station ID> of the Dongle is

activated during the wireless configuration procedure.

6.5.8 Wirelessly Connecting More Than One Awinda Master

If more than one Awinda Master is in use, the user should first configure the MTw’s of one

Master, then click “Operational” to enter operational mode and ensure that the configured

MTw’s are bound to that Awinda Station. When in operational mode, no new MTw’s can be

added to the wireless network. Before configuring the second Awinda Station, first ensure

that the radio channel is different from the previously configured Station, then proceed with

wireless configuration of the second Station.

6.5.9 Operational and Measurement Modes

When only one Awinda Station is in use, when all MTw’s have been detected and accepted

for the measurement, the user can go directly to recordings, the user does not need to

select “Operational” but can go directly to “Start Measuring”.

With Start Measuring command, MT Manager will close the wireless configuration menu,

rescan the COM ports and update the Device List. Remember to keep MTw’s very still at this

time.

The MTw’s are now detected as clients of the active wireless motion tracker network with

the Awinda Station as the master device, as shown in the Device List. All MTw’s are time

synchronised with each other to a global time base given by the Awinda Station.
