ATI: F/T System Interfaces (Wireless F/T)
The Wireless F/T is a pocket-sized wireless transmitter for up to six ATI Multi-Axis Force/Torque transducers. The Wireless F/T can stream to the user’s host device for data collection, real-time motion control, or user-defined signal processing. The Wireless F/T comes in two configurations, one that supports up to six transducers and one that supports up to three transducers. Product Features
Communicates using IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n at either 2.4 GHz or 5.0 GHz, so it can easily be used with an existing wireless infrastructure.
Supports as many as six ATI transducers simultaneously.
Typical range is 30 m (98 ft), in an office type environment. With unobstructed environments a 100 m (328 ft) range is possible.
Small enclosure with robust mounting feature: Three Transducer Wireless F/T: 150 mm × 82 mm × 19 mm (5.9 in × 3.2 in × 0.75 in) excluding mating connectors. Six Transducer Wireless F/T: 150 mm × 82 mm × 33 mm (5.9 in × 3.2 in × 1.3 in), excluding mating connectors.
Battery life is approximately one hour at full measurement rate with six transducers enabled, and is extended significantly when using fewer transducers. External power may be used.
Includes a Java demo program and source code.
Specifications:
Output Format: Wireless IEEE 802.11b/g/n at 2.4 GHz or 5.0 GHz, USB 2.0
Maximum Output Rate: 1200 Hz (six transducers enabled), 42 Hz (six transducers enabled)

Additional Capabilities
Multiple Power Options: Uses a removable, rechargeable battery that can be charged internally or externally. The Wireless F/T can be powered from the Micro USB connector, using an external, high-current, 5VDC power supply.
