7.2 GUI TX Testing

Table 7-1 lists the three types of TX testing that are supported.
Type
Packetized
Continuous
Carrier Wave (CW)
Some fields are enabled/disabled depending on the type of test the user is running. For example, the Amount
parameter is disabled only when the Continuous testing type is selected.

Table 7-1. TX Testing
Description
Each packet is sent one at a time from the application MCU to the network processor. A large delay
between packets exists in this mode. This mode is generally used for RF evaluation.
This is a test mode where the network processor sends packets back to back in an internal loop,
without the intervention of the host MCU. The delay between packets is typically very small, and
hence useful for FCC/ETSI certification purposes where high-duty cycle is required. This mode is
used only for emission certification.
In this mode the device transmits an unmodulated RF tone. The frequencies can be selected in
312.5-kHz steps. The power output with tone 0 is very low. If higher RF power is desired, use tone
numbers other than 0.
