Configuration file options

• serial (integer)
  • Default: -1
  • This defines which phidget will be controlled if there is more than one connected to the USB bus. You can obtain the number with lsusb, like this: "lsusb -v |grep iSerial". The default is -1 , and it will connect to the first phidget available.
• sampling_rate (integer)
  • Default: 40
  • How often (in mS) should the phidget produce data. 40mS produces ACC data at a rate of 25Hz.
• alarmtime (integer)
  • Default: 45
  • If the data acquisition cycle takes longer than this time (in mS), a warning will be printed.
• provides
  • The "wsn" interface with the 3 accelerometers data
