Wireless communication system U-WAVE

TO JAPANESE

Mitutoyo’s original wireless communication based on IEEE802.15.4 (2.4 GHz) has been adopted in the U-WAVE. Stable wireless communication facilitates a maximum communication range of approximately 20 m (in line of sight) and enables a flexible layout of the measurement site. The LED on the main unit or the buzzer can be used to confirm if data was communicated normally. Since the U-WAVE-R receiver is driven by the USB bus power, a separate power source need not be prepared. Each U-WAVE-T/TM/TC unit connected to the measuring instrument has a unique data ID, and by using the USB-ITPAK software provided as an option, data can be identified for each measuring instrument. In the U-WAVE system, a maximum of 100 U-WAVE-T units can be registered per U-WAVE-R receiver. Also, a maximum of 15 U-WAVE-R units can be connected to a single PC, which means that a maximum of 1500 measuring instruments can be registered to one PC.
* The buzzer sound is only available with a buzzer equipped model.


About U-WAVEPAK

Overview of U-WAVEPAK
This software is used to transfer the settings of the U-WAVE-R and the U-WAVE-T, as well as the measurement data of the measuring instruments to which the U-WAVE-T/TM/TC is connected, to the software installed in the PC. A maximum of 100 U-WAVE-T/TM/TC units can be connected and configured with respect to a single U-WAVE-R.
By operating in the data I/F mode, data can be input directly to Microsoft Excel and document files. The U-WAVE-T/TM/TC can be set to the button drive mode/event drive mode. In the event drive mode, the measurement data can be acquired at any timing by transmitting a data request command from the PC.

Button drive mode:
Data is transmitted using the data button on the U-WAVE-T/TM/TC or the measuring instrument.
Event drive mode:
The U-WAVE-T/TM/TC always transmits the recent data of the measuring instrument to the U-WAVE-R. Upon receiving the data request command, the U-WAVE-R transmits the stored measurement data.

* The battery life of the U-WAVE-T/TM/TC shortens when it is set to the event drive mode (around 20 days during continuous measurement). Therefore, be sure to switch frequently to the button drive.
* The battery life of measuring instruments to which a U-WAVE-T/TM/TC set to the event drive mode is connected will also shorten.
* U-WAVE is equipped with a function to avoid radio wave interference, and enables successful simultaneous data transmission of three U-WAVE-T units per U-WAVE-R. To perform simultaneous data transmission with more than three units of U-WAVE-T.

This software includes VCP drivers and direct USB drivers. This software will not start or operate unless these drivers are used.
If you want to connect application software other than the U-WAVE-R and the U-WAVEPAK, use drivers supported by the application software.
To use the direct USB drivers, you must embed a dedicated DLL (FTD2XX.lib) in the application software.
To use the VCP drivers, you must specify the RS-232C communication parameters on the application software as described below.

(1) Communication speed = 57600 bps
(2) Parity = None
(3) Data length = 8 bits
(4) Stop bit = 1 bit
(5) Flow control = RTS/CTS
