2 1. Introduction ZigBee Sensor Monitor (or ZSensorMonitor 1 ) is a PC application that will be used to monitor the sensors in a ZigBee Network. ZSensorMonitor can be used together with either the CC2530ZDK or an eZ430-RF2480 kit. The network is formed when setting up the basic out of the box demo included either of the kits.

If the IAR kickstart for MSP430 has been installed before this application, it might be that this dialog will pop up and ask the user to select one of the two inf files. Both inf files are equal and it doesn’t matter which one that is selected.
5 If this warning appears, the option “Continue Anyway” must be selected in order to install the driver. This dialog will be shown when everything has been successfully installed.

12 Temperature unit Celsius or Fahrenheit can be selected. Time interval The timestamp of each node will be checked regularly to see if any message has been received within the given time interval. If the elapsed time is longer than specified, the Node will be removed from the screen.
13 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.
14 voltage and a timestamp from when the last message was received from this node. The source node will blink each time a message is received by the connected Sink node. The role of each node is also indicated if the mouse is held over the node for more than a second.
15 5. T roubleshooting 5.1. Incorrect temperature values If the temperature is much different from the expected value, this is because the temperature sensor is not calibrated. 5.2. Status of the connected dongle NB! This section only applies to the eZ430-RF2480.
16 When the eZ430-RF2480 is removed, these dev ice drivers should disappear from the view in the Device Manager. If they don’t disappear, a restart of the PC will be necessary. Check that the “MSP430” device is availabl e in the drop down list of available COM ports.
17 5.6. Not able to start the application If an error message about missing the msvcp80.dll is received, or the error message shown below appears when attempting to start the application, you may be required to install an additional package from Microsoft.
