    Appendix B — Test Conditions Test Condition As detailed in chapter 5, each test that can be run on the MT8852B has a number of test conditions that determine exactly how the test is performed. The test conditions are set by default to match the requirements defined in the Bluetooth specification.

  • Page 209 Use the keypad to enter a value for the minimum EUT power. When a power below this value is received by the MT8852B it will start sending increment power commands, even if it has not received a minimum power command from the EUT. This prevents the EUT from disconnecting from the MT8852B by transmitting at a level below the receiver sensitivity.
  • Page 210 In Loopback mode, the MT8852B sends a packet to the EUT. The EUT loops back the packet at baseband level and retransmits exactly the same payload data to the MT8852B. In Tx mode, the EUT is configured to send a fully formed packet to the MT8852B each time it receives a Poll packet.

  • Page 217 When attempting to establish a SCO connection with the EUT, the MT8852B air code must correspond to the air code used by the EUT. Press Config \ MT8852B \ Audio and set the air code format to match that of the EUT, before attempting a SCO connection.

  • Page 220 Message Meaning Single Payload mode MT8852B has been configured to test an EUT by sending one test control at a time. This limits the speed with which a range of measurements can be made, but can improve reliability with EUTs that do not yet have a robust implementation of test mode signalling.
