The wireless network environment allows tool operators to move freely without the constraints of data cables. The DataSure™ wireless manager software provides a convenient user interface for network configuration, management, and inspection. Since many SPC packages are intended for use with wired data collection systems that utilize multiplexers to connect a variety of tools together through an RS232 communications port, the DataSure™ software utility also fully emulates this approach. The DataSure™ utility software enables operators to configure their wireless network, and manage the flow of tool data to their target applications. Measurements can be initiated either by the operator of the tool or solicited via computer software. The following statement applies to each of the DataSure™ wireless devices (EndNode, Router, Gateway): This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the L.S. Starrett Company could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 1.2 Features • 916 MHz RF technology • Freedom of movement and from data cables • Up to 32 tools per virtual multiplexer • Up to 5 virtual multiplexers • A variety of exportable log file formats • USB or RS 232 Gateway - PC interface • Operating distance up to 25 meters (80 feet) for EndNodes • Broadcast range up to 30 meters (97 feet) for Gateway and Routers • System status feedback on the EndNode, including acknowledge of data received • Adapts to electronic tools from various manufacturers • No line-of-sight limitation • Temporary data retention at the EndNode while outside the network • Routers enlarge network range and improve robustness against radio interference • Optional wall mount for Routers • Routers equipped with a rechargeable battery backup DataSure™ Operators Manual 6 PT 6***** • EndNodes offer a choice of battery selection (CR2450 or CR2477) • Gateway and Router antenna can be angled and swiveled to improve reception 1.3 Care & Maintenance • Cleaning and handling instructions External plastic surfaces of EndNodes, Routers, and Gateways may be cleaned with Isopropyl Alcohol and a non-abrasive cloth. Care should be taken not to wet internal surfaces or conductive cable ports. Antennae are delicate, and should be handled with caution. • Plug in cautions • Environmental bounds of use, humidity, temp, etc. • Battery replacement 1.4 Hardware Definitions • Gateway The Gateway is a radio device which provides a point of entry for the wireless network to interface with software running on PC. Only one Gateway may be used for a group of network elements. There are two status indicators on the Gateway; one is a power indicator, and the other shows radio activity. The red is a power indicator, and the green shows radio activity. The Gateway can be turned on or off via a sliding power switch. Gateways are available with either an RS232 DB-9 connector, or a USB port. Only RS232 enabled Gateways must be powered via an external AC wall adapter (included). The power cable may be looped around the posts located near the power entry jack on the rear of the Gateway. This provides strain-relief to guard against accidental shutoff if the cable should become snagged and pulled away unintentionally. • Router Routers are radio devices which provide robustness, range, and scalability to the wireless network. They serve as intermediary steps between the EndNodes and a Gateway. Routers should be installed within range of a Gateway, or else within reaching distance of other Routers. EndNodes can be carried freely throughout a network environment bounded by the overlapping ranges of Routers and the Gateway. Adding more Routers to a network-enabled space further strengthens a network by providing multiple paths for data transmissions to follow. Routers operate automatically; they require no further operation beyond proper placement, antenna orientation, and supplying of power. There are two status indicators on the Router; one is a power indicator, and the other shows radio activity. The Router can be turned on or off via a sliding power switch. Routers are powered via an external AC wall adapter (included), and are also equipped with a rechargeable battery backup. The power cables may be looped around the posts locat…
