Running MeshScape Network Monitor
Configuring a Node’s Operation
To configure the operation of an end node or mesh node, double-click on the desired
device from the list of discovered sensor nodes in the main display. The Device window is
displayed, showing the current configuration of the selected device (see
Figure 3-13).
The Device window is a modeless dialog that may be left open while you interact with
other MeshScape Network Monitor features, windows, and dialogs. You can open
multiple instances of the Device window—one per device as needed.
Figure 3-13. MeshScape Network Monitor’s Device window
Table 3-6 describes the functions of the various sections of the window as shown in Figure
3-13.

Item Description Function
A Device ID This is the device ID of the node currently selected for configuring.
B Sampling Interval This setting configures how often the node transmits a ‘heart beat’ data
packet or any other data.
For details, see ’Configuring Sample Interval of Single Node’ on page
3-8.
C Digital I/O This panel is used to control the states of the I/O pins associated with
digital I/O channels D0–D3.
For details, see ’Configuring Digital I/O Operation’ on page 3-9
D AD Converter This panel is used to control the states of the AD (Analog-to-Digital)
Converter channels.
For details, see ’Configuring AD (analog-to-digital) Converter Operation’
on page 3-14.
