MM2 Wireless Data Transceivers

LIM0001AA Rev E

FreeWave transceivers can be programmed to a low power state for battery/solar operation. There are several

settings to the Low Power Mode, the higher the setting the lower the power. The transceiver can operate as

low as 6 mA in the lowest power mode compared to 25 mA in idle mode. The transceiver also dims its LEDs to

save power in this mode.

A Slave in a Multipoint network set to use Low Power Mode takes slightly longer to communicate with the

Master.

For more information about Low Power Mode, see the user guide for the transceiver you are integrating.

Diagnostics

The Diagnostics setting allows diagnostics data to be viewed at the Master in parallel with application data.

The setting in this parameter determines how many slots out of 128 are dedicated to diagnostics. For

example, if you set to 10, 1 out of every 10 data slots is for diagnostics data; if you set to 100, 1 out of every

100 data slots is for diagnostics data.The diagnostic program must be run from the Master transceiver.

Note: Diagnostics is always secondary to actual transmitted data.

Diagnostics requires the following:

A setting of this parameter on the Master between 1 and 128.

A second computer or serial connection to run the diagnostics software.

A diagnostics cable (available from FreeWave).

Diagnostics software (available on the User Manual and System Tools CD and on
