ATAB542x-x-WB [USER GUIDE]
5219C–WIRE–05/15
LINK QUALITY - two transceivers exchange data packets with one-another. Each transceiver displays the relative strength
of the signal it receives.
TEMPERATURE SENSOR - two transceivers exchange with one-another the temperature measurement made by each’s
on-board sensor. The temperature measured by a transceiver’s own sensor, as well as that reported by the other
transceiver, is displayed.
LIGHT SENSOR - two or more transceivers exchange with one-another the light intensity measurement made by each’s on-
board sensor. This is a multi-transceiver demonstration with a single MASTER and one or more REMOTEs. The intensity
measured by a transceiver’s own sensor, as well as that reported by the other transceiver, is displayed.
Note: The REMOTEs communicate only with the MASTER – not with other REMOTEs.
FREQ HOPPER - two transceivers exchange data packets, in either single or continuous mode, as they hop among pre-set
channels.
SYSTEM SETUP - various functions
PWR DWN - puts the transceiver in one of two different sleep modes
CHANNEL ADJUST - adjusts/trims the frequency of the selected channel
UNIT ID ADR - assigns a unit ID to the transceiver
SET DATE/TIME - sets the date and time of the internal clock
PWR LVL - sets the power output (LO ~0dBm, HI ~8dBm)
LCD SEG ON - displays all segments on the LCD
A/D TST - shows that the A/D converter works
CLK OUT - outputs a square wave at the RC oscillator frequency
TIME - displays day/date/time information
RF MODULE SELECT - loads pre-set register data for each RF frequency
1.3 The Exhaustive Menu Guide
To power-up the transceiver, slide the white-and-black switch downward. The text ATMEL WIRELESS BLACKBIRD scrolls
across the screen. The AVR
®
logo and the device part number (542x) are also displayed. At this point:
P - displays VERSION X.XX, the current version of the demo software
P,L,R,U,D - goes to power-up display (ATMEL SMARTRF...)
U,D - scrolls through the main menu (DIAGNOSTICS, LINK QUALITY, ...)
P - selects desired menu item
1.3.1 DIAGNOSTICS
Contains seven transmit/receive functions
sub-menus: MARK, SPACE, TOGGLE, RSSI, PKT TX, PKT RX, S LINK
P - accesses sub-menus
L - goes to power-up display (ATMEL SMARTRF...)
U,D - scrolls through main menu (DIAGNOSTICS, LINK QUALITY, ...)
1.3.1.1 MARK
Transmits a continuous logic “1” (the upper FSK frequency)
P - accesses menu items
L - goes to DIAGNOSTICS
U,D - scrolls thru menu (MARK, SPACE, ...)
CH x - sets radio channel (0 to 9)
P - goes to PWR LVL
L - goes to PWR LVL
U - increments channel
D - decrements channel
