Test Steps and Description
Measure Ad vertising Interval
This step must be a child step of
. This step is only executed when the
device supports Active Scan.
Selection: Select one of the four types of advertising interval:
– Adv. Interval Maximum: Scan for the maximum advertising interval.
– Adv. Interval Minimum: Scan for the minimum advertising interval.
– Adv. Interval Average: Calculate the average advertising interval based on the advertising interval
recorded within detection duration set (ranges from 1 to 15 seconds).
– User Entry: Enter the known advertising interval of your device.
– Interval (enabled in User Entry): Set the delay between scans from 10 milliseconds to 10 seconds.
Start with 'Adv. Interval Maximum' to determine the advertising interval. Use 'User Entry' mode when
there is a known range of advertising interval. This step only measures the advertising interval of the
DUT without assessing it as 'Pass' or 'Fail'.
The four types of advertising interval mentioned above will only affect the
step will display the average, maximum, and minimum advertising intervals upon completion.
NOTE
The ZA0060A systems uses the DUT’s advertising interval when performing the
Active Scan Packet Error Rate measurement (PER). To optimize the PER results
for accuracy, it is recommended to set the Advertising Interval (via User Entry) to
twice the maximum advertising interval.
If optimizing for speed, it is recommend to set the Advertising Interval to the
maximum of the advertising interval (accuracy trade-off is ~ 2%). The
Advertising Interval setting is linked to the Scan Delay setting under the
advanced settings of the Active Scan PER test step by default.
