CubiSensTM TS100 User Manual v1.7 Introduction CubiSensTM TS100 Wireless Temperature Sensor (TS100 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 TS100 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.

CubiSensTM TS100 User Manual v1.7 5. Driver & GUI Software Installation The GUI software is used to communicate with the TS100 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 TS100 via the optical programmer. 2.

The COM Port of the Optical Programmer 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 Optical Programmer, select “Rescan Ports” from the selection box, and see which port disappears.
CubiSensTM TS100 User Manual v1.7 Using the TS100 1. Overview TS100 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.
