9.4. TESTING FOR IEEE802.15.4 PARAMETERS

The software on PAN4570 as delivered is the >EmberTM Range Test Application 2.0< (Version 1. Oct. 2006) utility. It allows the basic RF transceiver testing including range testing.

The basic operation of EmberTM Range Test Application is as follows. Typing HELP and >return< on the terminal will display a complete list of commands, below the mostly used commands are explained.

e

exit, leaving the last funktion

channel x

channel entry, where

 

x=b sets the lowest channel at 2405MHz

 

x=12 sets a channel at 2440MHz

 

x=1a sets the highest channel at 2480MHz

txtone

turns on an unmodulated carrier

txstream

turns on a continuously modulated carrier

transmit x

transmission of packets according to IEEE802.15.4

receive

reception of packets (requires another device set to transmit on the same

 

channel)

 

remark: for resetting the packet error counter to zero the transmitter has to

 

be restarted

txpow

after RESET the maximum default Tx power of +3dBm is set.

 

with

Txpowermode 1 0

the BOOST MODE with Tx higher output power and higher

 

Rx sensitivity is enabled. BOOST MODE is only allowed

 

for PAN4570 versions with pad or U.FL RF terminal.

 

Hardware RESET or Txpowermode 0 0 returns the module

 

to NORMAL MODE

All available commands are shown after typing HELP >return<., or as document on the CD.
