Radio Testing Tool 

The supported devices are: CC3100, CC3200, CC3120R, CC3220, CC3135, and 
CC3235x. The SimpleLink Wi-Fi Radio Testing Tool is a Windows-based software tool 
for RF evaluation and testing of SimpleLink Wi-Fi CC3x20 and CC3x35 designs during 
development and certification. The tool enables low-level radio testing capabilities by 
manually setting the radio into transmit or receive modes. Using the tool requires 
familiarity and knowledge of radio circuit theory and radio test methods. Created 
for the internet-of-things (IoT), the SimpleLink Wi-Fi CC31xx and CC32xx family of 
devices include on-chip Wi-Fi, Internet, and robust security protocols with no prior Wi-Fi 
experience needed for faster development. For more information on these devices, visit
