Wireless base station mounted in a non-weatherproof USB dongle enclosure for direct connection to laptops and tablets When you prefer to monitor the forces on a PC, the receiving base station is the connection between the wireless signals from the transmitting Protos devices, like load cells and windspeed meters, and your computer. The PROTOS USB base stations follow the simplicity of the entire system. When all transmitting units in your stock are set to the same radio channel it’s plug and play. The receiver will automatically recognize the radio channel as used and will find the transmitter units within range. Base stations are the interface between the PROTOS radio system and a PC, PLC or other controller. A base station would be required to configure PROTOS transmitter modules from a PC using the Protos Toolkit software and also required if you are to capture data from PROTOS transmitter modules to a PC or PLC.
