Page 39: Module Statistics
OCEASOFT Bluetooth dataloggers emit a wireless frame about every second, but many of those frames are lost due to range or wireless interference. This table shows the intervals at which those frames are effectively captured by OCEABridge. Figure 31 – Module statistics... - Page 40 This information determines the frequency at which a module transmits its data, and therefore the frequency at which it is “seen” by OCEABridge. This data enables you estimate the distance between the module and the gateway. Interference and module placement may affect wireless signal performance.
