6. Check that the module receives a series of IO Samples (IO Data Sample RX Indicator).
When the module wakes up, it immediately receives several IO samples instead of
receiving one every second (IR parameter). This happens because the coordinator
stores the samples that ED_PIN is not able to receive while it is asleep. Once ED_
PIN wakes up, the coordinator sends all IO samples at once.
7. Select one frame and check its details in the right panel. The value of the potentiometer
(DIO3_AD3) and other details related to the frame appear.
8. Repeat step 4 and rotate the potentiometer of the board where ED_CYCLIC is attached. Wait
for another 20 seconds and check that the new packets that arrive contain a different value for
the DIO3_AD3 pin.
9. If you leave the receiver module (ED_PIN) awake, ED_PIN receives an IO sample every second
while the ED_CYCLIC is awake (ST val ue is two seconds). After that, ED_CYCLIC goes to sleep
for nine seconds (SP parameter). The cycle then starts over again.
