ZigBee 802.15.4 - RF PHY layer testing

Jean-Marie: Did you find a way to get the device to count receiver packets? I'm trying to run a PER test (non-signaling) with CMW270. I don't see a command to query the Nordic chip for packet count. I do see something for payload but that doesn't see useful. Any ideas?

I just notice the documentation in specific says: "For the IEEE 802.15.4 mode, the start channel and the end channel must be within the channel range of 11 to 26." So I assume it must be working.

gayetprimo talked of "sending 802.15.4 packets" - would that be included in the Radio Test Example, or require extra work?

You need to use the radio test example from nRF5 SDKv15.2, for documentation see:
http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.sdk5.v15.2.0/nrf_radio_test_example.html?cp=4_0_0_4_5_29

It is controlled through UART serial port by a command line interface.

A Rohde & Schwarz comms tester, presumably?

So is this something to "test" your Radio Comms Testers?
