• Manufacturer Part Number: AN2777
• Description: Tango3 Monitor for the MC9S08RG60 MCU
• Manufacturer: Freescale Semiconductor / Motorola

The various fields in the messages are described below.
Preamble — The Preamble is a fixed format field that allows Romeo to detect the start of a message. The
Tango3 monitor can transmit Preambles with the correct format using the 'P' field.
ID — Each Romeo device can be assigned an 8-bit ID number. It will receive messages with this ID only.
This allows each Romeo device in an RF network to have a unique ID.
The Tango3 monitor can construct and send any ID byte using the '1' and '0' fields.
Header — The header field is a 4-bit fixed format field. It notifies Romeo that message data is next. The
field has values '0110' or '1001'.
The Tango3 monitor can construct and send headers using the '1' and '0' fields.
Data — Data can be any length and consists of Manchester encoded 1's and 0's. The Tango3 monitor
can construct any data pattern required.
EOM — End of Message. This is a fixed format field that indicates the end of a message. The Tango3
monitor can transmit EOMs with the correct format using the 'E' field.
The ID, header and data fields are constructed from Manchester encoded 1's and 0's. A Manchester
encoded bit is represented by a sequence of two opposite logic levels. A '0' bit of data is encoded as
sequence '01', a '1' bit of data is encoded as sequence '10'.
DATA pin when transmitting the data sequence '11001' using Manchester encoding.

Romeo2 can also accept messages with TONE based IDs. A TONE is an
ID field consisting entirely of 1's or 0's. Refer to the Romeo2 data sheet for
more information.
