Function Documentation

uint32_t dtm_cmd ( dtm_cmd_t  cmd,
dtm_freq_t  freq,
uint32_t  length,
dtm_pkt_type_t  payload 
)

Function for calling when a complete command has been prepared by the Tester.

Parameters
[in]cmdOne of the DTM_CMD values (bits 14:15 in the 16-bit UART format).
[in]freqPhys. channel no - actual frequency = (2402 + freq * 2) MHz (bits 8:13 in the 16-bit UART format).
[in]lengthPayload length, 0..37 (bits 2:7 in the 16-bit UART format).
[in]payloadOne of the DTM_PKT values (bits 0:1 in the 16-bit UART format).
Returns
DTM_SUCCESS or one of the DTM_ERROR_ values
bool dtm_event_get ( dtm_event_t p_dtm_event)

Function for reading the result of a DTM command.

Parameters
[out]p_dtm_eventPointer to buffer for 16 bit event code according to DTM standard.
Returns
true: new event, false: no event since last call, this event has been read earlier
uint32_t dtm_init ( void  )

Function for initializing or re-initializing DTM module.

Returns
DTM_SUCCESS on successful initialization of the DTM module.
bool dtm_set_timer ( uint32_t  new_timer)

Function for configuring the timer to use.

Note
Must be called when no DTM test is running.
Parameters
[in]new_timerIndex (0..2) of timer to be used by the DTM library
Returns
true: success, new timer was selected, false: parameter error
bool dtm_set_txpower ( uint32_t  new_tx_power)

Function for configuring the transmit power.

Note
Must be called when no DTM test is running.
Parameters
[in]new_tx_powerNew output level, +4..-40, in steps of 4.
Returns
true: tx power setting changed, false: parameter error
uint32_t dtm_wait ( void  )

Function for giving control to dtmlib for handling timer and radio events. Will return to caller at 625us intervals or whenever another event than radio occurs (such as UART input). Function will put MCU to sleep between events.

Returns
