The present invention includes following components:
1, the collection of node signal
In the test and measurement data collecting method that this paper proposes, signals collecting is directly carried out bypass and is intercepted and catch as shown in Figure 4 on the internal signal between node cpu and the RF, be the signal of mutual communication between CPU and the RF, adaptive collection plate is all monitored with recipient's role and is caught.Thereby realized not having and bothered the real characteristic of data.This method neither takies the wireless data communication link of sensor network simultaneously, does not also take the resource of node cpu, belongs to not have to bother the formula test.
2, the data processing of node signal
The intra-node signal that adaptive collection plate listens to comprises digital signal and analog signal, because the data volume after the intra-node signal high-speed sampling is bigger, directly sends to data transmission module and can produce losing of data.The present invention proposes at different internal signals and adopt different preprocess methods:
The digital signal preprocess method is as shown in Figure 5: when the internal digital signal produces a rising edge or a trailing edge, come the announcement information acquisition module to sample by a trigger event, and the data and the sampling time that sample stored in the buffer queue, wait for the processing of data transmission module.Because the variation of digital level is not frequent, therefore only store sampling instant and the sampled value that a small amount of level changes moment, reduction that can be bigger data volume waiting for transmission.
Analog signal preliminary treatment way is as shown in Figure 6: gather current signal, and the last value of gathering of preservation, if current sampled value has surpassed the preset threshold scope with the difference of current save value, then send into a new value (also comprising the sampling time simultaneously) to data processing centre, and current save value is updated to current sampled value, proceeds sampling; If current sampled value does not surpass preset threshold with the difference of current save value, then in buffer queue, do not send into new value, and proceed sampling, as shown in Figure 6, first sampled value n1 of analog signal is saved in the buffer queue, simultaneously after the setting threshold scope, sampled point n2, n3, n4, the value of n5 and the difference of n1 are in the setting threshold scope, thereby be not saved, and the difference of sampled point n6 and current save value n1 surpasses the preset threshold scope, thereby the value of n6 is saved and is updated to currency, while n7, n8, n9 and the difference of upgrading the currency n6 that preserves the back are in setting range and be not saved, and in like manner the value of Cai Yang n10 is saved and the value of n11 is not saved.Because there is certain noise fluctuations in analog signal, by this method, can be at the prerequisite decline low data bulk that guarantees certain data precision.
3, the transfer of data of node signal
Data transmission module initiatively extract pretreated data from signal acquisition module, and with the data conversion extracted for being fit to the transmission form of transmission network, send to central server.Suggestion takes Ethernet as transmission network, takes ICP/IP protocol as Data Transport Protocol, also can adopt other network and agreement to carry out transfer of data.What whole data transmission module adopted is star-like message transmission structure, as shown in Figure 7.
4, central server
Central server is a multi-functional and high performance data analysis center, at first will collect node data information and relevant out of Memory that data processing module sends based on transmission network; And the form of all data messages with text stored; Analyze, resolve and add up the data message that is collected; Therefrom draw some network performance indexes (as packet loss, delay, network traffics, connectedness etc.), thereby realize the whole network performance is carried out real-time or non real-time monitoring and measured assessment.
