Could we use CMW500's connection mode to test nRF52840's BLE RF?

He nordic expert:

      Could we use CMW500's connection mode to test nRF52840's BLE RF? If nRF52840 support such connection RF test mode?

      Following picture is CMW500's BLE RF test setting UI. 

      thanks!

Hi,

It should be possible to test in the connection mode of the CMW500, since it is a tester. In connection mode the CMW500 will establish a BLE connection with the nRF52840. You can use the DTM sample firmware also on the nRF52840 for this.

Hi Priyanka:

      Thanks for your support!

       We used nRF5_SDK17, the DTM sample only used UART. Is there any other version DTM sample can use BLE connection?

Hi,

In connected mode, you should use the normal FW. We haven't tested this so I would suggest you to get in touch with R&S if you need support on the CMW500.
