RF Tester

The RF Tester example enables simple RF output testing with the Module. It offers a convenient command line interface to change channels, set output to modulated/unmodulated, etc. The main menu explains the options: RF Tester Commands: ]  Increment RF Test Channel [  Decrement RF Test Channel M  Change RF Test Mode to modulated output U  Change RF Test Mode to UNmodulated output R  Change RF Test Mode to receive !  Reset Radio ?  Print this menu The application will only output to the valid IEEE 802.15.4 channels, 11 through 26 inclusive. There are three output modes:
 * The Unmodulated output option will cause the Module to output a clean carrier at the desired frequency
 * The Modulated output will output random data modulated on the carrier
 * Setting the RF test mode to receive will cease transmitting. Note: when set to receive, the Module does not report any information about what it has received, it is just muting the transmitter



ZigBee RF Tester Details
In the setRfTestMode method in module.c you can see how the testing is done. This method writes the desired RF test parameters to a special register in the Module. To activate the RF test mode you then need to reset the Module.
