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.

The nodes are connected with arrows to show the relationship between parent and child nodes based on the CSKIP3 addressing scheme. This relationship is with respect to addressing, and does not necessarily reflect the path taken for routing messages between a source and the sink.

4.6.1.Zoom

The user can zoom in and out of the network view by using the wheel on the mouse or by clicking on the “+” or “-“ buttons. The focus for zooming in and out will be based on the location of the mouse pointer.

4.6.2.Scroll bars

The Horizontal and Vertical scroll bars can be used to navigate the network. If the Network view is zoomed out far enough to make the outline of the rectangular background visible, the scroll bar will disappear.

4.6.3.Moving a Node

The nodes can be moved around with the mouse. To move a node, click and hold the left mouse button while pointing to the node. Hold the left mouse button and drag the node to the required position. Release the left mouse button when the node is in the desired position.

4.6.4.Removal of a Node

A node will be removed from the screen if no message has been received within the time interval given in the settings dialog.

4.7.Status bar

The status bar shows the status of the application; connection state, mode of operation, serial port traffic statistics and protocol information.

3Applies only to the ZigBee 2006 protocol used in eZ430-RF2480.
