Node I/O Variables
To use I/O from this node in a VI, drag and drop I/O variables from the Project Explorer window to the VI block diagram.
Node Channels
The NI WSN-3230/3231 has the following channels.
| Channel | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| RS232/RS485 | Read/Write | Accessed only by using the NI LabVIEW Wireless Sensor Network Module. Gives serial read and write capabilities to sensors. Data it transferred from the node to the host using User Defined Variables (UDVs). |
| DIOx | Read/Write | Digital input/output channel x, where x is the number of the channel. For the NI WSN-3230/3231, x is 0 to 1. |
| Battery Voltage | Read | Returns the voltage, in volts, of the batteries installed in the device. |
| Link Quality | Read | Returns the link quality percentage of the radio link. |
| VI Deployed | Read | Returns True if a LabVIEW WSN application has been deployed to the node. |
| External Power | Read | Returns True if external power is connected to the device. |
| Mesh Router | Read | Returns True if the device is configured as a Mesh Router Node. Returns False if the device is configured as an End Node. |
