DFZM-TS221 The SmartRF Studio Device Control Panel allows the operator to • • • • • execute test functions o packet RX o packet TX o continuous RX o continuous TX select predefined (typical) settings to view and adjust RF parameters access individual registers via the Register View select either a simple user interface (Easy Mode) or an advanced (Expert Mode) User Manual Sheet 7 of 25 Proprietary Information and Specifications are Subject to Change Sep.
DFZM-TS221 Easy Mode Easy Mode provides a simple user interface for packet transmission and reception. The user can select between two test modes; Packet TX and Packet RX in the bottom panel. Quick Start A packet TX/RX test between two devices can be started simply by selecting 'Packet TX' on one of the devices and 'Packet RX' on the other. Press start on the 'Packet RX' device first, then press start on the 'Packet TX' device to start the packet transmission.
DFZM-TS221 Typical settings The list of typical settings includes recommended register settings for some typically used parameter values. By selecting one of the typical settings the recommended register values for this combination of parameters will be programmed to the device. RF Parameters The RF parameters panel shows the current value of various RF parameters. The specific RF parameters shown in this panel is dependent to the connected device type.
DFZM-TS221 and the register view is updated accordingly. If not operating in offline mode, the register values will also be written to the connected device. Likewise if a register value is changed, either from register view or indirectly by selecting a new typical or easy mode setting, the affected RF parameters in this panel will be updated accordingly. Continuous TX The Continuous TX panel is used to set the device in a mode where it transmits a continuous signal.
DFZM-TS221 Data Format If the modulation is enabled, the source of modulation data is selected from this drop down list. Frequency Sweep Enable/disable sweep transmission over multiple frequencies. 'Start Freq.' and 'Stop Freq.' sets the start and end frequency of the sweep. 'Delta Freq.' sets the size of each frequency hop between start and stop frequency. 'Time' sets the time to transmit on each frequency.

CC430Fx137EM Serial Synchronous mode: Asynchronous transparant mode: Port 2.6(GDO0): Data from function generator into RF Device. Port 2.
DFZM-TS221 The measured RSSI in dbm is plotted on the graph as a function of time. On the right side of the panel the numerical value of the RSSI is given in both a raw format and in the calculated dBm units. The RSSI offset used for the calculation is also shown. The actual RSSI offset is dependent on the connected device type and is found in the datasheet.

User Manual Sheet 15 of 25 Proprietary Information and Specifications are Subject to Change Sep.
DFZM-TS221 Packet payload size This field select the size of the payload. The maximum size is dependent on the connected device type. A warning is given if the maximum size is exceeded. Optionally a 2 bytes sequence number can be added at the end of the payload. Packet count This field selects the number of packets to be sent, optionally infinite. Advanced options The Advanced options is available for the convenience of the advanced users. The options will vary from device to device .
DFZM-TS221 payload, after the length byte. Packet interval The packet interval option can be used to change the delay time between each packet. When the "Use default" is checked, the value calculated by SmartRF Studio is shown. Packet RX This panel control packet receive. Statistics for the Packet RX test is shown at the right side of the panel. Expected packet count This field selects the number of packets expected to be received, optionally infinite. The value is used to calculate the packet error rate.
DFZM-TS221 Sequence number Set the 'Seq. number included in payload.' check box if the transmitter is configured to include sequence number in the payload. EB Buffer overflow The "EB Buffer overflow!" indication is given when the internal packet buffer on the Evaluation Board MCU is full. This can happen when the PC application is not able to read packets from the buffer fast enough. The EB MCU tries to store the incoming packet, but does not succeed since the buffer is full.
DFZM-TS221 RF Device Commands This panel is used to issue individual command strobes to the chip. The specific command strobes shown in this panel are dependent on the connected device type, and may not include all strobes supported by the device. Consult the datasheet for a description of supported command strobes. Select test mode The user should first select the specific test mode from the drop down list to be used from the device command panel.
DFZM-TS221 included as the first byte. Read RX FIFO Read device' RX FIFO. PER test configuration This panel is used to write Packet Error Rate test configuration to the DFZM-TS220 EVB. The standalone PER test with the SmartRF04EB board is only available for CC1100, CC1101, CC1100E and CC2500.
DFZM-TS221 The configuration data can be used by selecting the frequency band and Preset #3 from the test set-up menu in the LCD on the evaluation board. The applicable Frequency band will be shown below the "write" button and on the LCD on the evaluation board when the configuration data has been reprogrammed. The configuration data will be written to the MASTER device and transferred over the air(using a fixed radio set-up) to the SLAVE device when the test is started.
