CubiSensTM AH110 User Manual v1.6 Introduction CubiSensTM AH110 Wireless Temperature Sensor (AH110 in short) is a millimeter-scale wireless sensor for accurate, real-time temperature measurement. Measuring only 7.5 x 7.5 x 4.2 mm, the AH110 is capable of transmitting up to 100m in distance and last up to 2 years in sensing operation. The device is packaged in bio-compatible epoxy and coated with parylene, making it ideal for implanting in animal models.

Driver & GUI Software Installation The GUI software is used to communicate with the AH110 through the optical programmer and gateway, providing a user interface for controlling the device and downloading its data. The software and driver need to be installed as follows: 1. Run “CDM21228_Setup.exe” in the installation kit and follow its installation instructions. This will allow the computer to send commands to the AH110 via the base station. 2. Run “AH110GUI_Setup.

The COM Port of the Base Station must be selected by clicking on the Serial Port selection dropdown menu. Note: If multiple ports are available, disconnect the micro USB cable from the base station, select “Rescan Ports” from the selection box, and see which port disappears.
CubiSensTM AH110 User Manual v1.6 Using the AH110 1. Overview AH110 Wireless Temperature Sensor uses optical communication for receiving commands from the user and for RF communication transmitting data and status. The optical communication is intended for shortrange configuration and command, whereas the RF communication can be received from up to 100m lineof-sight. When implanted or operated in an environment with obstructions, RF communication distance can be significantly reduced. 2.
