The 2680A-RF24G is a wireless network Ethernet
bridge for wireless operation of the Fluke 2680 Series Data Acquisition Systems
and NetDAQ Networked Data Acquisition Units. It provides a wireless network
link between a 2680 or NetDAQ and a computer running 2680 Series or NetDAQ
application software.
Wireless links are useful when data acquisition is
needed in remote, inaccessible, or environmentally hostile locations. Wireless
is also useful when the data being acquired is in a location that is moving,
such as on an assembly line or track, or simply when wired connection to a
computer is impractical or inconvenient.
The 2680A-RF24G Wireless Network Bridge connects
to 2680 Series and NetDAQ models or to an Ethernet port on a computer. It also
allows users to connect 2680 Series and NetDAQ models to compatible existing
wireless networks.
A wireless network for the 2680 Series and NetDAQ
models requires two wireless bridges. One wireless bridge is connected to the
2680 Series or NetDAQ model unit; a second wireless bridge is connected to the
computer. An alternative to the second wireless bridge is a compatible wireless
access point on an existing wireless network, which would allow connection to
that wireless network instead.
