SmartRf Studio

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC1352R, CC2640

Hi


I had a few questions regarding smartRf studio. 

1. Why changing the packet interval does not make difference in the delay between each packet transmission and what is the minimum interval? How to set it? Because GUI does not work.
In the RX device, I am receiving packets every 100ms and does not matter what packet interval I set in the TX. 

2. In BLE 4.2 and 5.0 in data channels packets can be up to 255 Bytes but the limited packet size in here in from 7-37. Is there any way to increase it? 

3. How to record the log file in the transmitter or receiver? There is no save option. 

I would be appreciated if you could kindly help.

Regards

Ali  


  • 1) It might be that you do not manage to see a packet interval shorter than around 100 ms but is you set it to 100 ms first and then 200 ms, you will see a change in the timestamps on the RX side. Please also see the following:

    2) There are no way to increase it in SmartRF Studio
    3) Select Settings -> Log -> Log to File

  • Hi Siri 

    Thanks for the reply. For the problem with the packet interval shorter than 100ms I tried and it is not possible with boards older than CC1352R. 
    For logging into the file I still have a problem. First, how can I record the continuous RX values?
    Second, when I try Select Settings -> Log -> Log to File, it shows an open option and not a save option. Also, log to window does not show anything. 
    I need to save log for continuous TX and Packet RX. 

    I also have an additional question. In continuous TX there is an unfamiliar term for me which is Delta Freq. 
    I would appreciate if you could kindly help me with this. 
    Regards

  • Hi Ali
    As mentioned in the post I linked to, there is a difference between the implementation on CC26x2 compared to on the CC2640. The same is the case for CC1352 vs cc13x0.

    I will have someone else comment on the logging issues.
  • Hi Ali,

    The log feature is not implemented for CC13xx and CC26xx. The option should have been removed or disabled for those devices. I will write a bug report on that.

    The only logging that you will see for these devices are the one that you see in the "Output" panel (bottom right corner). There you will see the RF Commands that are executed when running SmartRF Studio.
