Any suggestion for wireless data acquisition system?

Hi guys,

I want a data acquisition system which can help me recording some data through various sensor, like temperature, speed, etc., then i can plot on MATLAB using this data, then we will have a clear picture about the trends of this data.

Of cause, if the acquisition system has a well GUI interface, it will be awesome.

Any suggestion?

Buy the system or DIY?

start with the selection of specific sensors. And the precision needed. And the resolution needed.

If you’re not DIY inclined… the Digi International XBee Series 1 (wireless) has capability in the XBee to digitize analog voltages and transmit them wirelessly via IEEE 802.15.4 to a mating XBee which could go into a PC via a USB/Serial. Then there are standard ways to get serial data parsed and into MATLAB. This way you don’t waste time on learning an developing wireless protocols.

Thanks for your replies, I want to buy the system and use it.

Is there any product with friendly host side software to visualize the sensor data?

I know NI (National Instrument) has great solution, but it’s too expensive for me.

there is no strict precision and resolution requirement. but i don’t want to spent time on the system, i just wan to research the sensor data.

thanks.

How much web searching did you do? There are many systems available.

Try searching with Google on “wireless data acquisition system”.

Any commercial wireless data acquisition system is going to be pricy compared to a DIY solution.

My guess is to expect to pay at least $200 and maybe much more for a GUI interface.
