Communications
ADS offers remote wireless communication for the FlowShark IS
monitor. The wireless communication is performed over the
GSM/GPRS cellular network using TCP/IP (Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol) through the modem in the EMU. TCP/IP
facilitates high-speed, low-cost, efficient communication in areas
with GSM/GPRS coverage.
On-site communication with all monitors is available through an IS
PC direct connection cable (ADS p/n 106228A) or an EMU serial
cable (ADS p/n 3800-0147).
Note: If the monitor is externally powered, the user
cannot connect directly to the monitor using the direct
connection cable (ADS p/n 106228A cable). The user
must use the EMU serial cable (ADS p/n 3800-0147).
Digital Signal Processor
The Digital Signal Processor (DSP) board (ADS p/n 5000-0636)
contains the central processing unit (CPU). As the source of all
monitor activity, the DSP board is responsible for all of the
monitor's high-level functions, including the following:

Controlling user communication with the monitor

Scanning the analog board to retrieve and store sensor data

Maintaining the monitor time and date

Performing power management

Providing each board with the parameters required to carry out
the associated operations

Transmitting the stored and current data to the user's PC

Initiating event notification through alarms
