5.7 Analyser Overview
5.7.1 Power Button
The Power Button is used to power on and off the Wireless Mini Analyser unit. With the unit powered off, pressing
and holding the Power Button will cause the unit to turn on. Upon power on the unit will display a number of
information splash screens, before displaying the main Sensor Assignment screen. The Current battery status will
be shown as part of the power on sequence, so that the user can verify the unit is suitably charged prior to use.
The unit is powered off by pressing and holding the Power Button for longer than 2 seconds.
5.7.2 Position Assignment Keys
The position assignment keys provide the operator with the means to associate a wheel sensor with a given location
on the vehicle. For the Wireless Mini Analyser, the Position Assignment Keys are the only functional keys.
5.8 Connectivity Set Up
The Wireless Analyser set-up provides a point-to-point link between a single End Device (Wireless Mini Analyser)
and a single Co-ordinator (Wireless PC Module). In order that units may automatically connect at power on devices
contain details of the units to which they may connect. Each end device is configured with the MAC address of a
single co-ordinator node, whilst co-ordinator nodes contain a list of up to 8 allowable end devices.

At power on the co-ordinator node (Wireless PC Module) enters pairing mode (fast flashing Link LED). In this mode
it listens for any programmed device that is in range.
When an end device node (Wireless Analyser Module) is powered on it also enters pairing mode (fast flashing Link
LED).
When a compatible co-ordinator node and end device node are operating in pairing mode are within range of
each other, a link will be established. When the devices pair the link status LED on both devices will change
from fast flashing to double blink to indicate this. Once established the link will remain valid until one or other
of the devices times out due to lack of data transfer activity on the radio link.
By default the co-ordinator node Link_timeout is 15s, whereas the end device Link_timeout is 10s. It is intentional
that the end device Link_timeout is shorter than that of the co-ordinator Link_timeout.
If the end device node fails for any reason, then the co-ordinator node will revert to pairing mode after its
Link_timeout expires. This will allow a new end device node that is in the co-ordinator’s allowed list to be accepted.
The link establishment strategy is fully fault tolerant, and will automatically handle power cycling of devices in any
order, and will automatically re-establish a link in the event of an end device failure. If the co-ordinator node is lost
through power failure, the link will automatically restart once power is re-applied.
6 Operation
Operation of the Wireless Mini Analyser falls into two parts, collection of the wheel sensor information using the Mini
Analyser itself, and gathering of the information stored in the Mini Analyser via the wireless link to the host PC.
6.1 Wheel Assignment
The purpose of the Wireless Mini Analyser is to provide a convenient method for the assignment of wheel sensors to
their appropriate location on the car, should the normal automated process fail for any reason.
In order to position a sensor the operator should LF trigger the sensor via one of the Position Assignment Keys on
the analyser [FL] [FR] [RL] [RR]. When the sensor responds, and the Mini Analyser receives the RF datagram the
data is automatically assigned it to the appropriate corner based on the Position Assignment Key used to trigger the
sensor. When a sensor is positioned successfully a splash screen is displayed, together with a beep and flashing of
the Tx/Rx LED.
S e N s o r P o s i t i o n F L
If an RF datagram is not received within 500ms in response to the LF trigger, then the Mini Analyser will
automatically reattempt to trigger the sensor again after a further 500ms (i.e.: 1s between LF trigger attempts). The
Mini Analyser will make up to 5 retries to LF trigger the sensor. If no RF datagram has been received after the fifth
retry, a splash screen will be displayed, accompanied by a beep and flashing of the Tx/Rx LED.

As each wheel is learned, the serial number of the sensor that has been assigned to the wheel will be shown on the
Mini Analyser display. Unassigned locations will display serial number ‘0’.
▲ F L : 2 0 1 3 8 1 5 5 6 9 ▲ ▲ F R : 0 ▲ ▲ R L : 0 ▲ ▲ R R : 0
▲
This process is repeated for each corner of the vehicle.
▲ F L : 2 0 1 3 8 1 5 5 6 9 ▲ ▲ F R : 2 0 1 3 8 6 3 3 2 4 ▲ ▲ R L : 0 ▲ ▲ R R : 0
▲
▲ F L : 2 0 1 3 8 1 5 5 6 9 ▲ ▲ F R : 2 0 1 3 8 6 3 3 2 4 ▲ ▲ R L : 2 0 1 3 7 6 9 2 0 5 ▲ ▲ R R : 0
▲
▲ F L : 2 0 1 3 8 1 5 5 6 9 ▲ ▲ F R : 2 0 1 3 8 6 3 3 2 4 ▲ ▲ R L : 2 0 1 3 7 6 9 2 0 5 ▲ ▲ R R : 2 0 1 3 7 3 3 7 6 0
▲
Should the set assignment fail, due to duplicating a serial number between locations, a splash screen is displayed,
together with a beep and flashing of the Tx/Rx LED. The operator need only relearn the corner in error to complete
the set.

6.2 Data Transfer
Transfer of the data collected by the Wireless Mini Analyser is achieved via the wireless serial link provided by the
Wireless PC Module and Wireless Analyser Module. The wireless modules provide a transparent 19200-baud serial
link between the host PC and the Mini Analyser. When operating with the Wireless Modules the serial port should
be configured as follows:
Data Rate : 19200 baud
Data bits : 8
Parity : No
Stop bits : 1
Flow control : None
6.2.1 Command Transmission
Due to the single RF channel link between the host PC and the Wireless Mini Analyser, full-duplex serial
communication is not possible. The terminal interface within the Wireless Mini Analyser has been modified to
suppress the remote echo that is present in the standard firmware. As a result there is no requirement for the
terminal emulator, or other software, to wait for an echo character from the Wireless Mini Analyser.
If the Wireless Mini Analyser is used with a standard terminal program the entered characters will not be visible to
the user unless the terminal program is configured to provide a local echo. If remote echo suppression strategy is
not implemented then command transfers may fail due to clashes between transmitted and echoed characters on
the RF link.
6.2.2 ‘last’ Command
The current contents of the set buffer may be requested from the Mini Analyser at any time by use of the ‘last’
terminal command. In response to this command the Wireless Mini Analyser will transmit a fixed length data block
containing the collected data. As the Wireless Mini Analyser is generally intended for connection to a terminal
program, the data is transferred as ASCII characters.
The transferred data consists of 124 characters of header (2 lines of 62 characters), followed by 244 characters of
data (4 lines of 61 characters), regardless of sensor generation (G2 or G3). Appended to the collected data is a 7character line containing a checksum that is used to verify data integrity.

The CRC is generated by the CCITT algorithm G(x) = x16 + x12 + x5 + 1 with a 0x0000 register preload value. The
CRC is calculated over the 244 characters of the data payload.
On receipt of the data block at the host PC the data should be validated by means of the CRC. If the CRC validates
correctly, then the host PC should complete the data transfer by sending an ‘ack’ packet back to the Wireless Mini
Analyser. An ‘ack’ packet consists of the characters ‘ack’ followed by a linefeed. If the CRC fails to validate, then the
data may be re-requested via the ‘last’ command.
The complete sequence for the ‘last’ command is shown as follows:
At the USER1> prompt, the host PC sends the ‘last’ command
On receipt of the ‘last’ command the Wireless Mini Analyser responds with the data and CRC block, followed by a
USER1> prompt
The data block received by the PC is validated by a CRC check
If the check is successful the PC responds with an ‘ack’ message at the USER1> prompt

6.2.3 ‘setclear’ Command
The contents of the set buffer may be cleared via the host PC at any time using the ‘setclear’ command.
This command is generally used once a complete set of wheel sensors has been learnt and transferred, in order to
clear the buffer ready for next use. In order for the host PC to verify that the command has been correctly received
and executed by the Wireless Mini Analyser it will respond with an ‘ack’ packet. An ‘ack’ packet consists of the
characters ‘ack’ followed by a linefeed.
On receipt and execution of the ‘setclear’ command the unit first switches to the battery status display screen, which
is splashed for 3 seconds. This allows the user to monitor the battery usage without the need to switch operating
modes.

7 cParameters
The Wireless Module firmware contains a number of configurable parameters (cParameters). Under normal
circumstances there should be no need to modify these values. However, the end user may update these
parameters if necessary. In order to update the parameters the module to be updated should be connected to the
serial port of a PC running a terminal program.
The terminal program should be configured to operate at 19200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit. In order to
connect a Wireless Analyser Module to a PC for cParameter update, a null modem cable is required. The Wireless
PC Module may be connected directly to the serial port of the PC, or using a straight through male to female serial
port extension lead. When performing cParameter updates power is provided visa the micro-USB connector on the
side of the module, regardless of the module type.
With the module connected to the PC and powered on, depressing the recessed button on the module for 0.5
seconds using a suitable implement (such as a paperclip) enters cParameter edit mode. On entering cParameter
edit mode the Wireless Module will report part number and software version information to the terminal, followed by
the USER> prompt.

8 Bootloader
8.1 Mini Analyser Firmware Update
The Mini Analyser firmware may be upgraded using the bf1systems supplied Analyser Bootloader program. Loss of
power or communications during the update process may leave the unit in an undefined (non-operating) state. The
following precautions should be taken before beginning the firmware update process:
Securely connect the RS232 cable to the Mini Analyser
Securely connect the RS232 cable to the PC using the screw retainers
Ensure the Mini Analyser battery is in a good state of charge
As the Wireless Mini Analyser has a default serial communication rate of 19200 baud, and the bootloader software
operates at 57600 baud it will be necessary to modify the Wireless Mini Analyser communication speed in order for
the bootloader to function.
With the Mini Analyser unit connected to the host PC serial port start a terminal emulator (HyperTerm, TeraTerm etc)
and configure for 19200 baud communication and enable ‘local echo’ for the terminal. Pressing the enter key in the
terminal will cause the USER1> prompt to be output by the Mini Analyser.
The ‘baudrate’ command can then be used to reconfigure the communication speed of the Mini Analyser:
USER1> baudrate 5
Rates 1:4800 2:9600 3:19200 4:38400 5:57600 6:115200
Change terminal baud rate, then press a key...

The Mini Analyser communication speed is now correct to function with the bf1systems Analyser Bootloader
software. Close the terminal emulator and start the bootloader software. The screenshot below shows the
bootloader software.
The following steps should be followed to update the firmware:
Ensure a known good battery is used or the analyser is powered from the charger during the update.
Confirm ‘System: Live’ is shown in the bottom right corner.
Select the <Update Motherboard Firmware> button. This will call up a file dialog, where the required .fwr file
can be selected.
Once the file is selected the Mini Analyser will auto power off ready for update (Status : Starting Bootloader)
Press the Action Key on the Mini Analyser to start the motherboard bootloader.
The bootloader program will now erase the old firmware (Status : Erasing FLASH) and program in the
selected firmware file (Status : Programming FLASH). The progress of the programming operation can be
monitored via the Programming Status bar, and the Status field at the bottom of the screen.
When programming completes (Status: Starting Firmware), the new firmware can be started by pressing the
Action Key to power on the Mini Analyser
The firmware update is now complete.
