Wireless data acquisition system using the fusion of ZigBee technology and LabVIEW

The aim of this paper is to design Wireless Data Acquisition System Using Wireless sensor network, which is based on low-power ZigBee wireless communication technology. This system contains sensor, microcontroller, ZigBee devices (Transceiver unit), and PC (LabVIEW). For making whole system first we have made Wireless Sensor Network using ZigBee devices, in which the sensor sense the data and it is given to microcontroller for processing and it converts the signal from analog to digital. Then it is given to the transmitter unit that is of ZigBee device and it will transmit data to PC through ZigBee technology. Now ones the data which has been received by PC through ETRX357-LRS USB Stick, that will be displayed in a LabVIEW by choosing Com Port of ETRX357-LRS USB Stick. Now our data should me placed in particular row and column in Excel Shit, for this purpose we have used Excel Toolkit in LabVIEW. With the help of Excel Toolkit contained in LabVIEW, we can store the continues data to the predefined designed Excel Template that is transmitted by the sensor.
