3.   RFU-433-RU400 Utility 

    When  RFU-433-RU400  utility  connects  with  RFU-433-RU400  in  set 
mode through COM port. The utility will get the module firmware version 
and configuration. User also can change the RF communication frequency 
to RFU-433-RU400 through the utility. 

 

Open COM Button: 

Open COM port and connect to module. 

Close Button:

 Close COM port. 

Product:

 Here will show the module name and firmware version. 

Setting Function:

 It includes "Hardware Setting" and "Software Setting". 

For "Hardware Setting", the "Channel" is 433.5000 MHz, the "Output 
Power" is 10 dBm and the "Message Duty" is enable. 

Channel:

 RF channel is 433.1000 MHz ~ 434.6000 MHz. 

Output Power:

 The RF output power is from 0x00 ~ 0x7F. Default is 10 

dBm and 0x7F is max (19 dBm). 

Message Duty:

 Message duty means the minimum time interval for RF 

message. The "next" time interval is 10 times the "current" RF message 
Tx time. For example, if current transmission RF message is 20 bytes 
with 9600 bps, the Tx time is about 20 ms, so the next time the module 
can transmit RF message is after 200 ms. That is to say the message 
duty is 10%.

 

Write  Setting  Button:

  Click  it  to  set  all  setting  on  the  "Write
