Note
5.5.2. Packet Format
5.5.2.1. Fixed Length Packet Format
Fixed length packet format is selected when bit PacketFormat is set to 0 and PayloadLength is set to any value greater
than 0.
In applications where the packet length is fixed in advance, this mode of operation may be of interest to minimize RF
overhead (no length byte field is required). All nodes, whether Tx only, Rx only, or Tx/Rx should be programmed with the
same packet length value.
The length of the payload is limited to 255 bytes if AES is not enabled else the message is limited to 64 bytes (i.e. max 65
bytes payload if Address byte is enabled).
The length programmed in PayloadLength relates only to the payload which includes the message and the optional
address byte. In this mode, the payload must contain at least one byte, i.e. address or message byte.
An illustration of a fixed length packet is shown below. It contains the following fields:
