Question on audio modulation test code in Wireless Commander

Hello,

What I would like to do is to set up test code to do audio modulation of the transmitter on specific frequencies.

Looking at the examples of audio testing in the PPW Commander Config files (prod_test_audio_cc85xxdk_1, prod_test_audio_cc85xxdk_2, and prod_test_audio_cc85xxdk_3), the "audioTestFreq" and "audioTestAmp" commands (tests) are used.   In the config files referenced above, the test set is presumed to be a TESTER and a SLAVE where the Device Under Test (DUT) is designated as the SLAVE. 

The syntax of the two audio test commands in the config files, as documented in the PPW Commander Help section are:

audioTestFreq (toneDet,toneGen,channel,freqTone,freqEstLow,freqEstHigh);

audioTestAmp (toneDet,toneGen,channel,ampTone,ampEstLow,ampEstHigh);

Is there a version of these commands which can be used only on one DUT, namely a transmitter?  Or do I always need two devices (transmitter and receiver) hooked together.?

I would like to look at the transmitter modulated RF output on a spectrum analyser for different frequencies.

Additionally, what is the function of the other audio test command below?  Again, is there a version that only requires one device selection?

audioTest (toneDet,toneGen,channel,ampTone,ampEstLow,ampEstHigh,freqTone,freqEstLow,freqEstHigh);

As always, thanks for your help.

  • Hi Kenneth, 

    If what you want to do is to set a modulated TX carrier on a specific frequency then the RFT_TXTST_PN is the appropriate EHIF command. It's a modulated signal with pseudo-random data. This command is also available in the RX/TX Test panel if you select Moudulation to modulated output after choosing TX as the role.

    The AT_DET_TONE and AT_GET_TONE are there to test the audio interface between the CC85xx device and external audio device. It will either generate a tone on the local serial audio interface or estimate the amplitude and frequency on the input of the serial audio interface. There is no over-the-air transmission using these two tests. 
    Using these two, in a automatic production setup, requires both TESTER and DUT.  You can however run these two directly in the command and monitoring panel or scripting panel if you just want to test using one device. 

    Hope this helps.
