An example of the Link Capacity Test tab is displayed in Figure 158.
Figure 158: Link Capacity Test tab with 1522-byte packet length, example
The Link Capacity Test page allows you to measure the throughput and efficiency of the
RF link between two Cyclone modules. Many factors, including packet length, affect
throughput. The Link Capacity Test tab contains the settable parameter Packet Length
with a range of 64 to 1522 bytes. This allows you to compare throughput levels that result
from various packet sizes.
For example, the same link was measured in the same time frame at a packet length of
64 bytes. The results are shown in Figure 159.
