Hello!

Question, I have multiple calipers connected to the U-wave R, is there a way I can distinguish one caliper from another?, normally the device output includes name and data, and this case only data and length measured.


Please advise.

Hey @Jian ,

I’ve worked a bit with the U-Wave-R device, hopefully I can help:

On Player (the PC), the Caliper driver unfortunately ignores this ‘name’ information. So, I do not believe it is possible to differentiate the different calipers with this driver. This may be a good feature request to add.

In Node-RED (on Edge Devices), the U-Wave-R shows up as a generic serial device. So, EIO/EMC will simply intake whatever the u-wave-r outputs - in this case, the name and the measurement. Then, in Node-RED, you can modify your flow to act on both data: for example, to either direct that data to a different Tulip Machine Node based on its name, or to simply include both data in the output and make decisions within your app.
