Set Protocol Mode
The
sp
packet mode command uses bitfields shown in the following table. The “lower
nibble” consists of bits 0-3, the “upper nibble” consists of bits 4-7.
Bit
Description
0
enable data packets in transmit direction (i.e. TXD from host)
1
enable data packets in receive direction (i.e. RXD from radio)
2
enable CONNECT/DISCONNECT packets
lower
nibble
3
enable INSTRUMENTATION packets
4
enable RSSI for data packets (rx only)
5
6
upper
nibble
7
The structure for the
sp
command is as follows:
sp
[upper nibble in hex] [lower nibble in hex]
Here is an example to enable packet mode in both directions and instrumentation mode
packets using the command
spØb
.
A command of
sp13
would enable packets in both directions and RSSI mode packets as
shown below.
When using a protocol mode, make sure to count in packet overhead when calculating
network performance.
