National Instruments has added two cards to its wireless sensor network platform. The new 9792 is a programmable gateway that can communicate with other measurement nodes as well as other hardware through open communication standards.

The gateway combines a LabVIEW real-time controller and an integrated wireless sensor network radio. As a result LabVIEW applications can run locally on the gateway to aggregate data from networked devices in data-logging applications.

The WSN-3226 voltage/resistance temperature detector (RTD) combination node extends the measurement capabilities of the platform to include support for resistance-based measurements such as RTDs and potentiometers and provides engineers and scientists the ability to combine voltage and temperature measurements on a single wireless sensor device.  

The WSN-3226 features four analogue input channels that can be configured on a per-channel basis for ±10 V measurements or resistive measurements.
