BlueTest

BlueTest is a program that allows you to execute BlueCore's Built-In Self-Test (BIST) functions for RF testing.
The BIST functions consist mainly of low-level radio tests (transmitting a continuous wave at a proscribed
frequency or receiving pseudo-random data and calculating bit error rates). Included are tests for the PCM port
and other internal blocks. Refer to CSR documentation on BlueTest for more information.
