LORD QUICKSTARTGUIDEV-Link®-200®Wireless 8 Channel Analog Input Sensor NodeThe V-Link- 200 wireless sensor node features eight analog input channelsdesigned to accommodate a wide range of Wheatstone bridge and analogsensors, including strain, load cell, torque, pressure, acceleration, vibration,magnetic field, displacement, and geophones. There are four channels for single-ended sensor measurement, four channels for differential sensor measurement,and an on-board internal temperature sensor.To acquire sensor data, the V- Link -200 is used with a LORD Sensing datagateway such as the WSDA-101 or WSDA-1500 Base. V-Link-200 sensor nodescome with the following components.Item Description QuantityAV-Link-200 Wireless Sensor Node 1BAntenna with right angle adapter 1CNode Tester Board 1DAA Lithium Batteries (3.6 V dc, 2.4 Ah) 4Table 1 - V-Link-200 Components ListThe LED indicators on the V-Link-200 include operational modes showing whenthe node is booting up, idle and waiting for a command, sampling,resynchronizing, or if there is an error. see Table 2 - below describing basicindicator behavior.Figure 1 - Interface and IndicatorsIndicator Behavior Node StatusDevicestatusindicatorOFF Node is OFFRapid green flashingon start-up Node is booting up1 (slow) green pulse persecond Node is idle and waiting for a command1 green blink every 2seconds Node is samplingBlue LED during sampling Node is resynchronizingRed LED Error or low batteryTable 2 - Indicator BehaviorsWireless Simplicity, Hardwired Reliability™
SYSTEM OPERATIONSensor nodes have three operational modes:active,sleep, andidle. When thenode is sampling, it is in active mode. When sampling stops, the node is switchedinto idle mode, which is used for configuring node settings, and allows togglingbetween sampling and sleeping modes. The node will automatically go into theultra low-power sleep mode after a user-determined period of inactivity. Thenode will not go into sleep mode while sampling.Figure 2 - Node Operational Modes1. Install SoftwareInstall the SensorConnect software on the host computer before connecting anyhardware. The SensorConnect software is available on the LORD Sensingwebsite for free download:http://www.microstrain.com/software/software2. Make System ConnectionsTo acquire sensor data, the V- Link -200 is used with a LORD Sensing datagateway such as the WSDA-101-Base or WSDA-1500-LXRS.2V-Link-200 Wireless Sensor Node Quick Start Guide
3. Establish Gateway CommunicationThe WSDA-101-Base USB gateway is used in this example. For information onhow to use other gateways, refer to the gateway or SensorConnect user manual.Drivers for the USB gateways are included the SensorConnect softwareinstallation. With the software installed, the USB gateway will be detectedautomatically whenever the gateway is plugged in.1. Power is applied to the gateway through the USB connection. Verifythe gateway status indicator is illuminated, showing the gateway isconnected and powered on.2. Open the SensorConnect software.3. The gateway should appear in the Controller window automaticallywith a communication port assignment. If the gateway is notautomatically discovered, verify the port is active on the hostcomputer, and then remove and re-insert the USB connector.Figure 3 - USB Gateway Communication4. Connect to NodesThe node can be connected with the automatic node discovery feature and bymanually entering the node address and then searching for it on the currentgateway communication frequency.1. If the base and node are on the same operating frequency, the nodewill populate below the Base Station listing when powering on the V-Link-200.Figure 4 - Automatic Node Discovery2. If a red circle with a number appears next to Base Station, the nodeis operating on a separate radio channel. Select the Base Stationand then select the Nodes on Other Frequencies tile.Figure 5 - Nodes On Other Frequencies3V-Link-200 Wireless Sensor Node Quick Start Guide
3. Highlight the new node being added. Select Move Node toFrequency (#).Figure 6 - Move Node4. When manually entering the node address, select Manual AddNode, enter Node Address, last known Frequency (factory default is15), and select Add Node.Figure 7 - Adding a Node by Address5. Configure NodeNode settings are stored to non-volatile memory and may be configured usingSensorConnect. For details related to node configuration, see Wireless SensorConfiguration on page 1.For this example the V-Link-200 tester board is on channel 1.1. Select Hardware > Input Range for channel 1, select +/-2 mV fromthe drop down menu.2. Under Hardware Offset, select Balance Target for channel 1, selectMid (50%) from the drop down menu.3. Select Auto- Balance. When auto- balance is complete, a blueinformation window will indicate the balance result.Figure 8 - Auto-Balance4. Select Calibration.5. Select Microstrainfrom the Unit drop down menu, and select theShunt Cal button enabled on the right.4V-Link-200 Wireless Sensor Node Quick Start Guide

Select Start Shunt Cal for Slope and Offset calibrations.8. Select Accept Calibration.Figure 10 - Channel Settings9. When the calibration is complete, the Wireless Node Configurationwindow will appear.10. Select Apply Configuration to write to node memory.See below for wiring of other strain gauges.Figure 11 - Full-Bridge (Standard)Figure 12 - Half-Bridge5V-Link-200 Wireless Sensor Node Quick Start Guide

Left click on the Base Station > Sampling, and indicate the nodes to besampled by checking the box to the left of each node.2. Under Sampling, select Sample Rate from the drop down menu, selectContinuously to sample indefinitely, or For to set a limited time forsample sets.Figure 15 - Sampling Setting3. Select Apply and Start Network.4. Select Create QuickView Dashboard in the pop up window immediatelyto create a dashboard of the new data.Figure 16 - Quick View Dashboard6V-Link-200 Wireless Sensor Node Quick Start Guide
