05701-A-0301 Memory Processor

The DI05701-A-0301 measurement node is controlled by a TI MSP430 microcontroller that is optimised for low-power, extended-use deployments rather than optimised for processor speed, memory, and computational power. Due to the optimisation for power consumption, the NI WSN nodes have limited performance compared to other embedded LabVIEW targets.

The performance of 05701-A-0301 is the reason why LabVIEW WSN is called a pioneer module. For example, LabVIEW WSN Pioneer does not include LabVIEW debugging features such as highlighted execution and single-step debugging while running. However, you can send and receive string-based user messages to and from nodes for debugging deployed applications.

05701-A-0301 supports sequential execution, so parallel LabVIEW structures cannot be executed concurrently. Only trigonometric, exponential, and hyperbolic analysis functions are supported because nodes have only limited resources; however, users can create custom functions for use in LabVIEW WSN Pioneer with floating-point mathematical functions.
