Conguration Registers
The following sections give details on each configuration register. Green
addresses in the tables are volatile locations and blue are non-volatile.
CRC Error Count - Address = 0x40
The value in the regCRCERRCOUNT register is incremented each time
a packet is received that fails CRC check. Writing 0x00 to this register
initializes the count. Figure 27 shows the command and response.
Channel Hop Table - Address = 0x4B; NV Address = 0x00
The module supports 6 different hop sequences with minimal correlation.
The sequence is set by the value in the regHOPTABLE register. Changing
the hop sequence changes the physical band utilization, much the same
way that a channel does in a static transmitter. Valid values are 0-5. Figure
28 shows the command and response.
Figure 29 shows the RF channels used by the 250 Series and the hop
sequences referenced by channel number. The default hop sequence is 0.

Writing to Registers
Writing to a volatile register is nearly instantaneous. Writing to a non-volatile
register typically takes 16ms. Because the packet size can vary based on
the need for encoding, there are two possible packet structures. The first
structure writes a value that is less than 128 (0x80) and the second writes
a value that is higher. The higher value must be split into two values. Figure
25 shows the byte sequences for writing a register in each case.
The module responds with an ACK (0x06). If it is not received, the
command should be resent. The module responds with a NACK (0x15) if a
write is attempted to a read-only or invalid register.
Reading from Registers
A register read command is constructed by placing an escape character
(0xFE) before the register number. The module responds by sending an
ACK (0x06) followed by the register number and register value. The register
value is sent unmodified, so if the register value is 0x83, 0x83 is returned.
If the register number is invalid, the module responds with a NACK (0x15).
The command and response are shown in Figure 26.

Warning: The module must remain powered for the duration of the
register write or important configuration information could be lost.
