A parameter value of 0xFF permanently enables the PWM output and it will always reflect the value of the last received RF packet. XBee-PRO PKG-U® USB RF Modem...

  • Page 92: Rr (Xbee Retries) Command

    This values does not need to be set on all modems for retries to work. If retries are enabled, the transmitting modem will set a bit in the Digi RF Packet header which requests the receiving modem to send an ACK (acknowledgement). If the transmitting modem does not receive an ACK within 200 msec, it will re-send the packet within a random period up to 48 msec.
