Transceiver module TRX433-10C2 / TRX868-10C2 (Vers. 1.0E) 13<br />

RSSI of the telegram and no signal condition-RSSI<br />

To define the quality of a radio connection, the received sighnal strength indicator (RSSI) of the just received<br />

radio telegram can be output over RS232 after every received radio telegram. The signal strength will be<br />

output in dBm in addition to the payloads of the radio telegram in a twos complement.<br />

The no signal condition - RSSI can be output optionally in addition to the RSSI of the telegram. The RSSIvalue<br />

which was measured immediately after the radio telegram will be output as a no signal condition -<br />

RSSI. Out of those two RSSI-values, the signal-noise ratio can be calculated. Of course, the no signal<br />

condition-RSSI can be read out with the command “READ RSSI current” as well. You can see the output of<br />

the telegram-RSSI (RSSI TLG) and of the no signal condition-RSSI (RSSI at no signal condition) added to<br />

the payload in figure 11.<br />

Note<br />

When the function “Output of the telegram-RSSI” respectively “Output of the no signal condition - RSSI” is<br />

enabled, then those RSSI-values are buffered in the receive buffer of the transceiver following the payload<br />

until they are output over RS232. Depending on the configuration, maximum 2 additional bytes are needed in<br />

the receive buffer per radio telegram.<br />
