3. SETTING INTERNAL WAVECARD PARAMETERS
Internal Wavecard parameters can be separated into two categories:
•
Control parameters that are carried out by specific types of request/response frames. These
parameters (transmission power level, channel selection, etc...) allow you to change the
communication mode (either serial and/or RF).
•
Functional parameters that are carried out by the same frame as those used for writing internal
parameters. These parameters (Wake-up period, group number, etc...) allow you to modify
Wavecard behavior according to the type of radio exchange used.
Commands for setting parameters only apply to a local Wavecard, not
remote ones.
3.1 Configuring functional parameters
Functional parameters are directly related to Wavecard's default operation, and to the types of radio
exchanges used (i.e. functional parameters are initialized according to the intended type of radio exchange).
Default values are set when the unit is first initialized.

(bytes)
0x00
AWAKENING_PERIOD: RF polling period, in
multiples of 100 ms
Period in multiples of 100ms (by default,
0x0A for one second; max. = 10 sec.)
0 = nearly constant reception (every 20ms)
1
0x01
WAKEUP_TYPE: wake-up type used during frame
transmission
0: long wake-up (default setting)
1: short wake-up = 50 ms
1
0x02
WAKEUP_LENGTH: wake-up duration when long
wake-up is set used
This value must be higher than the RF polling period.
Value in multiples of 1 ms, LSB defined first.
Default value: 1100 ms
min. value = 20 ms (0x1400)
max. value = 10 sec. (0x1027)
2
0x03
WAVECARD_POLLING_GROUP: byte containing
the Wavecard polling group.
Byte 1: Polling_Group
Default Polling_Group = 0x00
1
0x04
RADIO_ACKNOWLEDGE: indicates whether radio
frames should acknowledged by the receiver.
0: no acknowledgement
1: with acknowledgement (default value)
1
0x05
RADIO_ADDRESS: radio board address
This value is set a the factory.
Read-only
6
0x06
RELAY_ROUTE_STATUS: Parameter related to
relay route transmission in each relayed frame
received.
0x00: Relay route transmission deactivated
0x01: Relay route transmission activated
By default, relay route transmission is
deactivated
1
0x07
RELAY_ROUTE: Table containing the radio
addresses for successive repeaters used to reach
the destination module.
BYTE 1: number of repeaters in route
Maximum number of repeaters = 3
If BYTE 1 != 0
BYTES 2 to 7: First repeater's radio
address..., etc.
