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.
