Hello Support team and everyone,

I would like to suggest one thing about U-WAVE-R. When I connect U-WAVE-R to an Edge IO, we can enable U-WAVE-R driver on the portal and it allows us to get a measurement value only from “Caliper or Depth gauge” trigger.

My suggestion is to add a Device ID of Mitutoyo U-WAVE TC. U-WAVEPAK can choose to output a Device ID. So, we will identify the correct gauges to get a measurement value. Now device.output has only data property. Please add Device ID property.

@Akira,

Thanks for the suggestion! This makes total sense. We have some improvements planned to drivers overall coming up, we’ll be sure to look at this as part of that work.

Hello Adam-san,

Thank you for your comment. As you understood, U-WAVE-R can handle 100 measurement tools maximum via wireless. We need Device IDs to identify them.

I hope this request will be included to the improvements.

Kind Regards,
Akira Takahashi

@Akira , Would the channel id and group id be sufficient for you usecase or you specifically need the device Id?

A single measurement message from the UWave receiver contains the channel id and group id but not the device id. Device IDs are sent as separate status messages and we are currently exploring ways to reliably and consistently correlate the different status messages to the measurement messages.

Hello Hari-san,

I think it would be good if one U-WAVE device could be identified by channel ID and group ID. We would like to identify each device when we measure.

Kind Regards,
