  • to validate your hardware during the development of your product
  • to pass FCC, ETSI certification
  • during production for end-of-line testing

Test Setup

The following serial sequence shows the template for all manufacturing library tests. Note it's possible to run different type of tests (Tone, Stream, Packets) within the same Manufacturing Library Start and Stop session. 

The network state must be down to run the manufacturing library tests. 

Transmit Tone

The following serial sequence shows how to send out an unmodulated tone.
