nRF9160: AT monitor

The AT monitor sample demonstrates how to use the :ref:`at_monitor_readme` library and define AT monitors to receive AT notifications from the :ref:`nrfxlib:nrf_modem`.

Requirements
************

The sample supports the following development kit:

.. table-from-sample-yaml::

.. include:: /includes/tfm.txt

Overview
********

The sample defines two AT monitors, one for network status notifications (``+CEREG``) and one for received signal quality parameters notifications (``+CESQ``) through the :c:func:`AT_MONITOR` macro.
The sample then subscribes to both notifications and switches the modem to function mode one to register to the network.
While the device is registering to the network, the sample uses one of the AT monitors to determine if the registration is complete and monitors the signal quality using the other monitor.
Once the device registers with the network, the sample reads the modem PSM mode status, enables it, and reads the PSM mode status again.

Building and running
********************

Testing
=======

|test_sample|

#. |connect_kit|
#. |connect_terminal|
#. Power on or reset your nRF9160 DK.
#. Observe that the sample starts and connects to the LTE network, while displaying both the network registration status and signal quality during the process.
#. Observe that the sample displays the PSM status twice on the terminal, once when it is disabled, and once when it is enabled.
#. Observe that the sample completes with a message on the terminal.

Sample Output
=============

The sample shows the following output:
