The screen will display:
• The number of frames sent (UL COUNT), including repetitions
• The number of frames received (DL COUNT)
• The Packet Error Rate (PER) as a percentage
The PER measurement is calculated by comparing the number of frames transmitted to the number of frames received:
• PER (%) = 100 - (( DL_COUNT / UL_COUNT) * 100)
3.5. Downlink screen
This menu can be accessed by briefly pressing on pushbutton 2 after the PER menu. It will allow you to view a downlink frame sending by the
network. This frame is displayed in ASCII characters. The non printable characters are replace by a point.
The screen allow a viewing of 51 characters (17 characters per lines). If the size of the payload is upper than 51 bytes, the product will not
display the extra bytes.
4. DECODING THE PAYLOAD
The size of the Field Test Device’s payload can vary depending on the information transmitted. The first byte will enable you to identify the pres-
ence of information contained in the payload. Information will always be shown in the order indicated in the following table.
Example of a payload received: 9C1B4515969000553450272020
This example will be used in order to explain how the payload is decoded.
