Hi,

Go to https://www.nordicsemi.com/DocLib . Then press 'Application notes', and you will find the python scripts in the zip download of nAN34:

Alternatively, it is still available in the infocenter (the zip download).

Best regards,

Andreas

Thanks Andreas!

Hi,

As kindly mentioned, the easiest is to load an example from one of our SDKs and use a smart phone to estimate the range, or compare versus e.g. your development kit. Using our nRF Connect app will also let you plot the RSSI readings from multiple devices.

DTM is used by Bluetooth testers during RF-PHY testing. This is mainly decided by the radio itself, the PCB layout mainly decides the maximum range you will be able to get, so if you've replicated our recommended reference design fairly closely this should not be a concern. We also have some script for using a DK as tester, for PER tests, see this document.

Best regards,

Andreas

I guess you can use one of the nRF apps on your mobile phone to test Bluetooth. You can use nRF Connect app.
