4.1 INTRODUCTION

This chapter describes how to use the MiWi protocol tools provided by the ZENA

Wireless Network Analyzer. Both basic and advance monitoring techniques are

demonstrated.

4.2 MICROCHIP STACK CONFIGURATION TOOL

Microchip provides a freely available Stack as part of application note, AN1066,

“MiWi™ Wireless Networking Protocol Stack”. The application note and source code

are available for download from the Microchip Web site (www.microchip.com). After

you have reviewed the application note and studied the demonstration projects, you will

be ready to start your own MiWi protocol application.

The ZENA analyzer will greatly assist you with configuring the Microchip Stack by

automatically generating a portion of the source code for your MiWi protocol

application. Be sure to refer to AN1066, “MiWi™ Wireless Networking Protocol

Stack” for details about each MiWi protocol configuration option. Select

MiWi Tools>Stack Configuration

from the main ZENA Stack Configuration window. The

ZENA™ Stack Configuration - MiWi™ Protocol window will be displayed. Using the

tabbed dialog, you can select all of the options required for your MiWi protocol

application. The ZENA software will automatically enable and disable certain options

depending on the selections you have made.
