Running a Packet Error Rate Test
To run a packet error rate test the previous section, Simple Rx / Tx Test in Packet Mode, must first be followed. Once
interrupts are observed, on both the Rx and Tx software instances, the Packet Error Rate (PER) test may be used.
Configuring the Receiver board for the PER test
1. Once all of the Receiver and packet parameters are setup correctly (as in Rx Setup in Packet Mode section)
then select the “ PER ” Tab. ( Figure 39 point ( 1 ))
2. Select the “ Rx Board Setup ” Tab
(
Figure 39
point (

3. Set the number of packets to be received, “ No. of Packets to Rx ” (
Figure 39
point ( 3 ))
4. Write these settings to the uC by clicking “ Write Rx Settings ”
(
Figure 39

5. To begin the test and put the receiver into Rx click “ Begin PER Rx ” (
Figure 39
point ( 5 ))
(Note: The receiver will remain in Rx waiting for a packet to be transmitted from a valid transmitter.)
6. If at any time you wish to terminate the test manually press “ Stop Test ”.
