CC1110DK Quick Start Instructions Revision 2.0, 2007-08-23

RF/Packet Error Rate Test

1. Kit Contents

•2 SmartRF04EB

•2 CC1110EM

•2 antennas

•2 USB cables

2. EB overview 3. Plug EM into EB

Insert a CC1110EM into both SmartRF04EBs.

The connectors will only fit in one position, so

that the EM cannot be inserted the wrong way.

Do not force the EM.

4a. Battery power

There are three different ways of applying

power to the EB:

The first method involves using a battery, either

a 9V or a 4xAA battery pack connected to the

battery connector on the bottom side of the

board

4b. DC power

The second method applies DC power using the DC

input jack (right in picture, centre is +, sleeve is

ground), or by connecting a 4-10V voltage source

between the 4-10V and 0V terminals of the power

connector (left in picture). It is also possible to

connect a 3.3V voltage source between the 3.3V and

0V terminals. The on-board voltage regulators will be

bypassed in this case.

4c. USB power

The EB can also be powered from the USB bus.

Make sure that the SmartRF

Studio software is

installed before connecting the EB to the PC,

otherwise you may experience problems in

installing it later due to driver issues.

Note that if multiple power sources are

connected, the source with the highest voltage

will power the EB. This means that you should

disconnect any attached battery when using a

lab supply or USB power, otherwise the battery

will be drained.

5. Set power switch

If a 3.3V source is used as described in 4b

above, the switch should be set to the leftmost

position. For all other cases, the switch should

be set to the rightmost position. This switch can

be used to turn off the EB by switching it to the

opposite position of that used to turn it on.

6. Packet error rate test

When power is applied to the board, the test

program will start. You should see the Chipcon logo

shown above on the LCD display on both EBs.

Pushing button S1 in the lower right corner of the

board will show the first menu item.

7. Select Frequency

Select frequency according to the type of EM

module in use (315 MHz, 433 MHz, 868 or 915

MHz). Move the joystick up or down to display

the choices and push button S1 in the lower

right corner of the board to select the displayed

frequency.

8. EB 1: Select Receiver

Select Receiver on the first EB by moving the

joystick. Confirm by pressing button S1. The

Receiving node will display “Ready to receive”.

9. EB 2: Select Transmitter

Select Transmitter on the other EB by moving the

joystick. Confirm by pressing button S1.

10. EB 2: Number of packets

On the transmitter EB, select the number of

packets to send. More packets takes longer but

gives a better statistical result. Confirm by

pressing button S1.

11. PER Test (Transmitter)

The transmitter will show “Transmitting!” and a

running counter that shows the number of

packets.

12. PER Test (Receiver)

The receiver will show the total accumulated

packet error rate together with the average signal

strength (RSSI) of the previous 50 received

packets.

13. Per Test results

When the PER test is completed, the result will be

displayed on the receiver until a new test is

started. A new test can be started from the

transmitter.

14. Documentation

Please visit www.ti.com to download the

CC1110DK User Manual, the SmartRF

Studio

software, examples, as well as relevant

datasheets and application notes.

If you for some reason cannot access the TI

web site and download the files, please contact

your local TI representative for assistance.

15. Troubleshooting/Notice

It you are experiencing problems with this test,

please check the following:

•Please visit

www.ti.com and enter

CC1110DK in the part number search box.

Check for updated SW and documentation.

Updated SW can be downloaded to the

device using IAR or the Flash Programmer

application.

•If results are strange at short distances, try

to move the transmitter and receiver further

apart. The CC1110 may experience

saturation when transmitting at full output

power if the units are to close.

•See “DN300 -- SmartRF04EB

Troubleshooting” for general

troubleshooting of your EB board.

SmartRF

Studio

1. Download

Before connecting the EB to your PC, download

SmartRF

Studio from www.ti.com. To find it,

type “SmartRF Studio” in the keyword search

field and click Go. Install the program.

2. Plug in EB

After the install program finishes, connect the EB

to the PC using the USB cable. Run SmartRF

Studio. Select the SmartRF

04 tab. Select the

CC1110 board, and click the Run button.

3. Configure

You can now configure the radio chip, run tests

or communicate with another EB.
