Effortless Wireless Connectivity

Our sensors wirelessly connect to a nearby receiver, serving as a seamless bridge to your computer. Using low-power wireless radio communication, this setup maximizes sensor autonomy for uninterrupted, comprehensive measurements. The receiver creates its own Wi-Fi network, accessible from any nearby computer, allowing you to effortlessly manage and control your measurement campaigns.

System Requirements & Connectivity

Do I need an internet connection for the FORCEBIT wireless measurement system?

No. The Gateway creates its own Wi‑Fi network, enabling fully offline wireless data acquisition. No online license nor internet connection required.

What is the function of the FORCEBIT Gateway?

It manages synchronized wireless data streaming from all FORCEBIT sensors and sends data to your laptop or stores it locally.

Can I use two FORCEBIT Gateways at the same time?

Yes, two computers can independently use two Gateways. A single computer cannot yet connect to two Gateways.

Can the FORCEBIT Gateway connect to other data acquisition systems?

We are expanding third‑party DAQ support. Contact us with your system requirements.

Sensor Capacity, Performance & Data Handling

How many wireless sensors can the FORCEBIT Gateway connect simultaneously?

Up to 6 sensors depending on sampling rate. The system offers 48 kHz aggregated bandwidth. This means a single accelerometer can stream a 16kHz in 3 directions (3x16=48), whereas 3 sensors can measure concurrently at 16kHz in one direction.

Which data formats can I export for engineering analysis?

CSV format compatible with MATLAB, Python, Simulink, and other engineering tools. Other formats can be provided on request.

Can I stream real-time measurement data?

Yes, with ~1 second latency, suitable for monitoring but not real‑time control.

Can the FORCEBIT Gateway be used as a standalone data logger?

Yes. It can store data internally without requiring a laptop connection.

Wireless Range, Power Management & Reliability

What is the wireless range of the FORCEBIT sensors?

Sensors use 2.4 GHz industrial wireless. Although many tests have proven to achieve a rigorous connection. Range may be affected by metal, water, and EM fields. Invite us for a demo to test.

Do FORCEBIT sensors have a low-power sleep mode?

Yes. Battery life exceeds one month when idle.

How easy is the system to learn and operate?

The interface is intuitive and design to be very low-threshold, enabling even non-technical personnel to perform measurements within minutes.

Power, Charging & Customization Options

How do I recharge FORCEBIT sensors?

All sensors use USB‑C rechargeable batteries.

Do you offer custom firmware, filtering, or signal analysis tools?

Yes, custom firmware and analysis packages are available upon request.

Do I know when the battery gets depleted?

Yes, the battery level is shown after every measurement campaign.
