## Function Documentation

uint32_t dtm_cmd | ( | dtm_cmd_t | cmd,
|  | dtm_freq_t | freq,
|  | uint32_t | length,
|  | dtm_pkt_type_t | payload
| ) |  |

Function for calling when a complete command has been prepared by the Tester.

Parameters

  [in] | cmd | One of the DTM_CMD values (bits 14:15 in the 16-bit UART format).
  [in] | freq | Phys. channel no - actual frequency = (2402 + freq * 2) MHz (bits 8:13 in the 16-bit UART format).
  [in] | length | Payload length, 0..37 (bits 2:7 in the 16-bit UART format).
  [in] | payload | One of the DTM_PKT values (bits 0:1 in the 16-bit UART format).

Returns
  DTM_SUCCESS or one of the DTM_ERROR_ values

bool dtm_event_get | ( | dtm_event_t * | p_dtm_event | ) |

Function for reading the result of a DTM command.

Parameters

  [out] | p_dtm_event | Pointer to buffer for 16 bit event code according to DTM standard.

Returns
  true: new event, false: no event since last call, this event has been read earlier

uint32_t dtm_init | ( | void |  | ) |

Function for initializing or re-initializing DTM module.

Returns
  DTM_SUCCESS on successful initialization of the DTM module.

bool dtm_set_timer | ( | uint32_t | new_timer | ) |

Function for configuring the timer to use.

Note
  Must be called when no DTM test is running.

Parameters

  [in] | new_timer | Index (0..2) of timer to be used by the DTM library

Returns
  true: success, new timer was selected, false: parameter error

bool dtm_set_txpower | ( | uint32_t | new_tx_power | ) |

Function for configuring the transmit power.

Note
  Must be called when no DTM test is running.

Parameters

  [in] | new_tx_power | New output level, +4..-40, in steps of 4.

Returns
  true: tx power setting changed, false: parameter error

uint32_t dtm_wait | ( | void |  | ) |

Function for giving control to dtmlib for handling timer and radio events. Will return to caller at 625us intervals or whenever another event than radio occurs (such as UART input). Function will put MCU to sleep between events.

Returns
  Time counter, incremented every 625 us.
