Communicating with WSN Nodes (WSN)

You program, monitor, and control a wireless sensor network through a VI that runs on the host computer. The host VI uses the WSN Host API VIs to send messages to and receive messages from the WSN gateway and WSN nodes in the network, get information about the WSN nodes in the network, and deploy firmware to WSN nodes.

Add a VI under My Computer in the Project Explorer window to create a host VI.

You can use the WSN Host API VIs on any RT target, such as the NI 9792 WSN Real-Time Gateway. You must use the NI Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) to install the Host API VIs on the RT target before you can run them on the target.
