RB (Packetization Threshold) Command
RC (Ambient Power - Single Channel) Command
RE (Restore Defaults) Command
RM (Ambient Power - All Channels) Command
<Serial Interfacing> The RB command is used to
set/read the character threshold value.
RF transmission begins after data is received in
the DI Buffer and either of the following criteria is
met:
If PK (Max. RF Packet Size) is lowered below the
value of RB, RB is automatically lowered to match the PK value. If (RO = 0), RB bytes must be
received before beginning transmission.
Note: RB and RO criteria only apply to the first packet of a multi-packet transmission. If data
remains in the DI Buffer after the first packet, transmissions will continue in a streaming manner
until there is no data left in the DI Buffer (UART receive buffer).
<Diagnostics> The RC command is used to exam-
ine and report the power level on a given channel.
Sample output:
<Diagnostics> The RE command is used to
restore all configurable parameters to their fac-
tory default settings.
The RE Command does not cause default values
to be stored to non-volatile (persistent) memory. For the restored default settings to persist in the
module’s non-volatile memory and be saved in the event of RF module reset or power-down, the
WR (Write) command must be issued prior to power-down or reset.
<Diagnostics> The RM command is used to
examine and report power levels on all channels.
If no parameter is given, the channels are
scanned one time. If a parameter is given, the
channels are repeatedly scanned for that number
of seconds. The maximum power level seen for
each channel is reported (i.e. peak hold).
A graphical spectrum analyzer can be implemented by repeatedly sending the RM command (with
no arguments) and reading the resultant 50 power levels (this is easiest to do when CF = 1 or 2).
