If ACKs are enabled the Receiver will send back an acknowledgement message which contains
the Receiver’s LQI. The Transmitter will calculate the LQI of the ACK message it receives.
Both LQI indications will be displayed in the boxes pictured above.
On the transmitter board LED’s 1, 2, and 3 will blink. On the receiver board, LED’s 1 and 2 will
blink. On the PC, a screen (such as that in Figure 24) will be displayed which will show:
LQI measurements will vary due to many factors including separation distance between the two
evaluation boards, and obstructions in the transmission path. For example, the user can try
covering the module of one of the evaluation boards with a hand to lower the LQI readings into
the ‘Yellow’ range and covering the modules on both boards to lower it into the ‘Red’ range.
9) Set the (destination) ‘Dest Address’ to ‘2020’.
10) Select ‘Enable’ in the ‘ACK’s’ area and ‘Continuous’ in the ‘Rate’ area.
11) Start the Transmit Range test by clicking the ‘Transmit’ button. LED 1 will blink.

Packet messages in the ‘Communications Log’ window.
‘RX’s LQI’ numbers (that will fluctuate) ranging from 0 to 255.
‘RX’d LQI’ numbers (that will also fluctuate) ranging from 0 to 255.
To the right of each of the LQI numbers will be an indicator “light” which will blink with
one of three colors:
The ID of the Receiver board will automatically be set to ‘2020’
The RF channel of the Receiver board will be set to Channel ‘13’.
The RF power of the Receiver board will be set to full power for the acknowledgment message ‘18’.
The standalone board will receive the message from the Transmitter and send its LQI and ACK message
back to the Transmitter.
o Green – For LQI readings of greater than 168.
o Yellow – For LQI readings between 85 and 168.
o Red – For LQI reading of less than 85.
