7.6 Run the Bluetooth test modes
The test modes "DTM" as specified by the Bluetooth
®
SIG are defined in the Bluetooth
®
Core specification.
7.6.1 CMD_DTMSTART_REQ
This command restarts the module in direct test mode (DTM). When starting in DTM mode,
a
CMD_GETSTATE_CNF
message follows which indicates that the test mode has been enabled
successfully. Now the
CMD_DTM_REQ
can be used to start and stop various test modes.
As soon as the module is reset, the DTM will be left again and normal operations can be
performed.
Performing a reset will leave the DTM and restart the module in the
ACTION_IDLE
state.

Status:
0x00: Request received, will enable the direct test mode now
0x01: Operation failed

7.6.2 CMD_DTM_REQ
This command starts and stops various test modes. To be able to run these test modes, the
DTM has to be enabled first using the
CMD_DTMSTART_REQ
. After a test has been started, it
has to be stopped first before a next test can be run.
The default TX power value is 8 dBm, the allowed range is from -40 up to +8 dBm (see
chapter
8.17
for valid TX power values). The valid range for channel is 0. . . 39.
