Tx (Out) Packetiser Timer:
The Tx (out) packetiser timer is used to packetise data incoming from
the RF. When the packetising time has passed with no further data being received, all data will be
output on the serial port.
Rx (In) Packetiser Timer:
The Rx (in) packetiser timer is used to packetise data that comes into the
serial port. When the packetising time has passed with no data received on the serial port, all
available data is transmitted over the air.
Rx Buffer Limit:
The Rx buffer limit allows control over how full the internal buffer should get
before flow control is triggered.
