XBee‐PRO PKG‐R® RS‐232 RF Modem – 802.15.4 ‐ Product Manual v1.xAx
4.1.2. X-CTU Software
Install X-CTU
Serial Communications Software
X-CTU is a Digi-provided software program used to interface with and configure the RF Modems.
The software application is organized into the following four tabs:
Figure 4‐01. X‐CTU User Interface
NOTE: PC Setting values are visible at the bottom of the Range Test, Terminal and Modem Configura-
tion tabs. A shortcut for editing PC Setting values is available by clicking on any of the values.
Double-click the "setup_X-CTU.exe" file and follow prompts of the installation screens. This file is
located in the 'software' folder of the Digi CD and also under the 'Downloads' section of the
following web page: www.Digi.com/support/
Setup
A terminal program is built into the X-CTU Software. Other terminal programs such as
"HyperTerminal" can also be used. When issuing AT Commands through a terminal program
interface, use the following syntax:
Figure 4‐02. Syntax for sending AT Commands
NOTE: To read a parameter value stored in a register, leave the parameter field blank.
The example above issues the DL (Destination Address Low) command to change destination
address of the module to "0x1F". To save the new value to the modem’s non-volatile memory,
issue WR (Write) command after modifying parameters.
To use the X-CTU software, a module assembly (An RF modem mounted to an interface Board)
must be connected to a serial port of a PC. The interface data rate and parity settings of the
serial port ("PC Settings" tab) must match those of the module (BD (Baud Rate) and NB (Par-
ity) parameters).
• PC Settings tab - Setup PC serial ports for interfacing with the RF modem
• Range Test tab - Test the RF modem's range and monitor packets sent and received
• Terminal tab - Set and read RF modem parameters using AT Commands
• Modem Configuration tab - Set and read RF modem parameters
