‘RX’s LQI’ numbers (that will fluctuate) ranging from 0 to 255.
To the right of the LQI number will be an indicator “light” which will blink any of three colors
following the same criteria as with the Transmit test.
Again, the user can cause the LQI measurements to change by varying the separation distance
between the two evaluation boards, or changing the obstructions in the transmission path.

PERT TAB (PACKET ERROR RATE TEST)
The ‘PERT’ (Packet Error Rate Test) Tab can be used to evaluate RF performance in the user’s
own environment. For this demonstration, the Mode C configuration (described in Section 5.2.3)
is used in order to allow the separation of the Transmitter evaluation board from the Receiver
evaluation board. This makes it possible to demonstrate the Packet Error Rate of the
communications link in less than ideal circumstances. To simplify the demo, default settings in
the firmware are used. This procedure explains how to configure the board connected to the
PC as the Receiver, how to configure the standalone board as the Transmitter, and how to send
200 packets from the Transmitter to the Receiver. Statistics are then provided showing the
number of “error-free” packets received. From that the Packet Error Rate (PER) can be
computed.
