4.2.1 When to use info mode
Info mode can be very useful when you have physical access the data logger. The following are
the main use cases:
1. Wake up the data logger from radio power save without power cycling it.
2. Verify serial numbers and channel assignments when two temperature probes are
connected using probe splitter.
3. Check the access point where the data logger is currently connected. You can determine
this from the VaiNet channel number if you know the channel assignments of the access
points.
4. Check the firmware version of the data logger without power cycling it.
5. Determine the signal quality of the current access point connection. When the data logger
is connected to an access point, you can move the data logger around and monitor the
signal strength indicator
connection quality is shown only for the current access point connection.
