RF Transceiver
RANgE TEST TAB
The Range Test tab allows packets of data to be sent between two radios and reports the numbers of successes
and errors. An example is shown in the following graphic:
Test Selection
There are six test options that can be selected. For each of these options, excluding Port 1 Send Only, the DVK
application will perform data verification as part of the test. This means that the application will send specific
data out and the application expects a specific response to that transmission. If it does not get that specific
response, it will report an error.
Important: The ports referred to are Ports for the application, NOT the Windows communication ports.
The available selections are:
• Port 1 -> Port 2 – This test selection is used when two CL2510s are connected to one PC.
This selection is used to send data from the radio connected to Port 1 to the radio connected to Port 2.
• Port 2 -> Port 1 – This test selection is used when two CL2510s are connected to one PC.
This selection is used to send data from the radio connected to Port 2 to the radio connected to Port 1.
• Port 1 <-> Port 2 – This test selection is used when two CL2510s are connected to one PC.
This selection is used to send bidirectional data from both radios connected to the PC.
• Port 1 Send Only – This test selection is used when one CL2510 is connected to a PC. This selection
is used only to send data from the radio connected to Port 1. This would most often be used when
the remote radio is connected to a second PC and is running the Port 1 Receive Only test. There is
no data verification with this option.
• Port 1 Receive Only – This test selection is used when two PCs are being used with two CL2510s.
One CL2510 is connected to each PC. When this selection is made, the radio attached to the port
of PC 1 will be receiving data sent from the radio attached to PC 2, which is set to Port 1 Send Only.
Both PCs should be set up with the same number of bytes in the Create Data field. Important: The test
on both computers should be initiated at the same time. If this is not done, there may be some errors
reported until the two radios synchronize with each other.
• Port 1 Loopback – This test selection is used with two CL2510s and one PC. The PC will be connected
to one CL2510 and will be running the development software. The second CL2510 will be powered on.
The second CL2510 is set up in loopback mode, using a jumper to connect TX and RX. The radio
attached to PC 1 will transmit data to the remote radio. The remote radio will receive the data and
retransmit it back to the radio attached to PC 1.
