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.
Sink node not connected to the PC.
An attempt to read from the COM port has been made, but no response
received.
Sink node connected to the PC but reading from the COM port is not
active.
Sink node connected to the PC and reading from the COM port. The
difference with a Sink not connected to the PC can be seen from the black
and white outline.
A combined router and source node in the network. The short address,
temperature, voltage
2
and a timestamp is shown within the node. The
timestamp is from the last message received from the node.
The node will blink each time a message is received by the connected
Sink node.
A dummy router. If we don’t receive any message from a router within the
configured time interval, it can be assumed that the node is out of service.
However, if the node has child nodes that are still alive, the node will not
be removed, it will be changed to a “dummy router”.
Source node with information about the short address, temperature,
