9. Observe how XCTU represents the retrieved data:
Range Test chart represents the RSSI values of the local and remote devices during the
n
range test session. The chart also shows the percentage of total packets successfully
sent.
Local and Remote bar graphs represent the signal strengths of the local and remote
n
XBee modules. These values are retrieved for the last packet sent/received. RSSI is
measured in dBm. A greater negative value in dBm indicates a weaker signal. Therefore,
-50 dBm is better than -60 dBm.
Packets sent and Packets received area shows the total number of packets sent,
n
packets received, transmission errors, and packets lost. The percentage bar graph
indicates the percentage of packets that are successfully sent and received during a
range test session.
In the following illustration, the percentage of packets successfully sent is 69% and received is
64%. The actual percentage of packets successfully sent or received may be higher.
