8.33 RF_DataRate
This parameter is only used in „user specific mode“
Mode_Preselect
.
The various chip rates can be selected by means of this parameter.
Value Chip rate

Operating mode
0x00 4.8 R2
0x01 32.768 S1, S1-m, S2, T2-Meter RX, T2-
other TX
0x02 100.0 T1-Meter TX, T2-Meter TX, T2-
other RX
0x05 50,0 C2-Meter RX, C2-other TX

8.34 RF_AutoSleep
The parameter RF_AutoSleep supports 3 different settings. Firstly, AutoSleep can be disabled.
In this case, the module will be in the RX mode permanently. Secondly, if the parameter is set
to WOR, the radio chip will wake up at the configured intervals and enter the RX mode. Thirdly,
if the parameter is set to sleep, the entire module will go to sleep. In this case, it can only be
woken up via the user interface (data or command mode).
Value
[hex] Description
0x00 Between the transmissions, the module is permanently in RX mode
0x01 The module wakes up according to the settings of the parameters
APP_WOR_PeriodH
,
APP_WOR_PeriodL
,
APP_WOR_MultiplierH
, and
APP_WOR_MultiplierL
and listens for the duration set in the
parameter
APP_RX_Time
for the possibility of any reception.
0x02 Between the transmissions, the module is always in the sleep
mode (no reception at all).
Table 15: Parameter RF_AutoSleep

RX:
The module is permanently in RX mode. Data can be received at all times.

WOR :
If the module is set to WOR operation (parameter RF_AutoSleep = 0x01), a timer that counts
the time defined by means of the parameters APP_WOR_PeriodH, APP_WOR_PeriodL,
APP_WOR_MultiplierH, and This parameter together with the previous parameters determines
the length of the wake-up period in ms.
APP_WOR_MultiplierL is started in order to wake up the module.
