Calibrating Acquisition Modules
Calibration

• Select the number of Calibration points you wish
  to take you calibration over.
• Enter the value of each calibration point. i.e.
  0Kg, 50Kg, 120Kg, 220Kg, etc...
• As you apply each weight click the acquire button
  next to the value to set the calibration point.

Configuring Acquisition Modules

• Transmit Interval Time between transmission.
  Default 333mS resulting in a 3Hz Sample
• Sample Time Time sample it taken for from
  connected sensor. Default 5ms
• Low Power Mode Manages if the modules stands by
  between transmissions below 40ms Low power mode
  ineffective
• Battery Life Guide Enter the details of the
  battery connected and sensor details plus
  predicted usage per 24 hours and the guide will
  give you the noise free resolution and predicted
  battery life for the acquisition module.

Configuring Acquisition Modules
This page displays Battery Voltage Link Quality
Indicator (LQI) at the Base Station (Local) and
Acquisition Module (Remote). The LQI is
calculated from the Relative Signal Strength
Indicator (RSSI) Correlation Value (CV) which
can be viewed under the advance view.
LQI Battery

• Low Battery Level When the Battery goes below
  this voltage the SA will transmit Low battery

• Sleep Delay Time lapse that module will sleep
  after last Keep Awake message. Handheld send
  Keep Awake messages every 5 sec therefore it is
  wise to set this to 30 seconds so if Handheld
  moves out of range the Acquisition Modules
  Sleeps. Default - (0) no sleep delay
• Data Tag This is the tag attached to any data
  provided by the Acquisition Module.
• Default - last 4 HEX digits of Radio ID.
