RM (Ambient Power – All Channels) Command
<Diagnostics> RM Command is used to examine
and report the power levels on all channels. If no
parameter is given, then the channels will be
scanned once. If a parameter is given, the
channels will be repeatedly scanned for that
number of seconds (up to 2000d), and the
maximum power level seen for each channel is
reported (i.e. peak hold).
A graphical spectrum analyzer application can be implemented by repeatedly calling ATRM with
no arguments and reading the resultant 50 power levels (easiest to do when CF = 1 or 2).
Sample output [when CF = 0]:
Sample output [when CF = 1]:
Sample output [when CF = 2]:
RN (Delay Slots) Command
<Networking & Security> RN Command is used
to set/read the time delay that the transmitting
modem inserts before attempting to resend a
packet. If the transmitting modem fails to receive
an acknowledgement after sending a packet, it
inserts a random number of delay slots (ranging
from 0 to (RN minus 1)) before attempting to
resend the packet. Each delay slot lasts for a
period of 38 ms.
If two modems attempt to transmit at the same time, the random time delay after packet failure
allows only one modem to transmit the packet successfully; while the other modem waits until
the channel available for RF transmission.
RN Command is only applicable if retries have been enabled [RR (Retries) Command] or if forced
delays will be inserted into a transmission [TT (Streaming Limit) Command].
RO (Packetization Timeout) Command
<Serial Interfacing> RO Command is used to
set/read the Packetization Timeout setting. RF
transmission commences when data is in the DI
buffer and either of the following criteria are met:
RB and RO criteria only apply to the first packet
of a multi-packet transmission. If data remains in the DI Buffer (UART receive) after the first
packet, transmissions will continue in streaming manner until there is no data left in the DI Buffer
(UART receive).
•
RO character times of silence on the
UART receive lines (ignored if RO = 0)
•
RB characters have been received by the
UART (ignored if (RB = 0)
