RM Command (continued)
A graphical spectrum analyzer application can be implemented by repeatedly calling ATRM with
no arguments and reading the resultant 50 power levels (easiest to do when CF = 1 or 2).
Sample output [when CF = 0]: Ch 0: -100 dBm
Ch 1: -103 dBm
...
Ch 49: -99 dBm
Sample output [when CF = 1]: 64
67
...
63
Sample output [when CF = 2]: -100
-103

-99
RN (Delay Slots) Command
AT Command: ATRN
Binary Command: 0x19 (25 decimal)
Parameter Range: 0 – 0xFF [38 ms slots]
Default Parameter Value: 0 (no delay slots
inserted)
Number of bytes returned: 1
Related Commands: RR (Retries), TT
(Streaming Limit)
<Networking & Security> RN Command is used to
set/read the time delay that the transmitting
modem inserts before attempting to resend a
packet. If the transmitting modem fails to receive
an acknowledgement after sending a packet, it
inserts a random number of delay slots (ranging
from 0 to (RN minus 1)) before attempting to
resend the packet. Each delay slot lasts for a
period of 38 ms.
If two modems attempt to transmit at the same time, the random time delay after packet failure
allows only one modem to transmit the packet successfully; while the other modem waits until
the channel available for RF transmission.
RN Command is only applicable if retries have been enabled [RR (Retries) Command] or if forced
delays will be inserted into a transmission [TT (Streaming Limit) Command].
RO (Packetization Timeout) Command
AT Command: ATRO
Binary Command: 0x21 (33 decimal)
Parameter Range: 0 – 0xFFFF
[ x UART character times ]
Default Parameter Value: 0x03 (3 decimal)
Number of bytes returned: 2
Related Commands: RB (Packetization
Threshold)
<Serial Interfacing> RO Command is used to
set/read the Packetization Timeout setting. RF
transmission commences when data is in the DI
buffer and either of the following criteria are met:
RO character times of silence on the UART receive
lines (ignored if RO = 0)
RB characters have been received by the UART
(ignored if (RB = 0)
RB and RO criteria only apply to the first packet of a multi-packet transmission. If data remains in
the DI Buffer (UART receive) after the first packet, transmissions will continue in streaming
manner until there is no data left in the DI Buffer (UART receive).
