Hi,

When I use SmartRF Studio Expert Mode (Packet RX) I get less packets than SmartRF Packet Sniffer, Why is that?

Can I use SmartRF Packet Sniffer to capture non-standard zigbee frequencies like in SmartRF Studio Expert Mode?

Thanks.

Hi Loone,

Can you provide a specific example for which you can determine the difference? What sniffer firmware is used with Packet Sniffer and which PHY/channel is being used inside of Smart RF Studio? Here is further information for each tool:

The CC2531 sniffer can support the "Generic" Protocol but may be restricted by expected 2.4 GHz 802.15.4 channel frequencies.

Ryan
