1. Introduction 1 ZigBee Sensor Monitor (or ZSensorMonitor ) is a PC application that will be used to monitor the sensors in a ZigBee Network. ZSensorMonitor can be used together with either the CC2530ZDK or an eZ430-RF2480 kit. The network is formed when setting up the basic out of the box demo included either of the kits. In the case of eZ430-RF2480 this includes the ZigBee Accelerator Sample Application. This document will only describe the user interface of the ZSensorDemo PC

2. Installation The installation of ZSensorMonitor is very straight forward. Download the zip file from internet and unzip the setup file. Double click on the setup file and follow the instructions. 3. eZ430-RF2480 Driver Installation This section is only relevant if the eZ430-RF2480 kit platform is used. Note: When using eZ430-RF2480 the PC application should be installed before the eZ430-RF2480 dongle is connected to the PC. This is to be sure that the required files for the dri

4. User Interface The user interface is developed to be as simple as possible with only a few buttons and input fields. When the eZ430-RF2480 dongle is connected to the PC, the application will search for an applicable COM port and start reading if a connection is successfully established. Below is a screenshot showing a ZigBee Coordinator, Routers and End Devices where the Coordinator is operating as a data Sink and all remaining devices are operating as data Sources. 8

4.3. Data logging and playback It is possible to capture the data traffic on the serial port to a log file for debugging and playback purposes. The log file is pure ASCII text which displays a time-stamp and the raw data in hexadecimal format. Data logging is started by clicking the button . The user will then be requested to provide a file using the standard “File Save” dialog. The log file shown below is a sample ZigBee PRO log file included in the distribution as “ZSensorMonitor_pro.l

4.6. Network View The PC demo will always display one node on the top of the screen, the Sink. Below the Sink the presence of additional network nodes will be displayed as they are detected. Be aware that nodes may place themselves on top of existing nodes when they first appear, but can easily be dragged away with the mouse. The various states of the nodes are described below.

voltage and a timestamp from when the last message was received from this node. The source node will blink each time a message is received by the connected Sink node. The role of each node is also indicated if the mouse is held over the node for more than a second. The nodes are connected with arrows to show the relationship between parent and child 3 nodes based on the CSKIP addressing scheme. This relationship is with respect to addressing, and does not necessarily reflect th

5. Troubleshooting 5.1. Incorrect temperature values If the temperature is much different from the expected value, this is because the temperature sensor is not calibrated. 5.2. Status of the connected dongle NB! This section only applies to the eZ430-RF2480. It is possible for the status of the connected dongle to get out of synchronization if the dongle gets disconnected and connected rapidly without any delay in between. In this case the start/stop capturing data should be used man

The serial COM port. The composite device When the eZ430-RF2480 is removed, these device drivers should disappear from the view in the Device Manager. If they don’t disappear, a restart of the PC will be necessary. Check that the “MSP430” device is available in the drop down list of available COM ports. 16
