7Calibrating 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.

8Configuring 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.

9Configuring 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
warning to Data consumers

- 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.

battery life - Sleep and Wake functions controlled by Data
Consumers e.g. base station or handheld - Sleeping Modules intermittently check to wake
(default 5 sec) - Data Consumers Wake Modules by responding to Wake
