SMARTRFTM-STUDIO: Carrier Sense Threshold does not update current consumption estimate

Part Number: SMARTRFTM-STUDIO
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC1200

I am using SmartRF Studio 7 version 2.6 with a CC1200 on TRX EB. 

When trying to evaluate RX Sniff mode, I don't see the "Average Current Consumption" estimate updated when I change the Carrier Sense Threshold. I swear I saw this working a while back. 

I have attached 2 screenshots that show 2 different CS THRES value, but the current consumption remains estimated at 2.1, which seem wrong and does not match what I am seeing on board.

  • The carrier sense threshold is not taken into consideration in the estimate. If the signal received is under the threshold the sniff will always abort and you will never receive anything.

    When you have measured to check, have you then sent packets that then are received/ not received?
