Determine signal strength of connection

[jerry]

Hi I have a module that is used in a hand held instrument. It contains the nrf52832. It connects to phones for data communications. Is it possible to determine the strength of the RF connection on the module side? The module has the capability to set RF output power to +4dbm,0dbm,-4dbm,-8dbm or -20dbm. I see talk about a RSSI value, but how would I get that? Is that something that has to be communicated from the phone(host)?

Thanks,

Jerry

Thank You very much. I'm using a RAYTEC module that has AT type commends only, There is a query commend(AT?CONNECTRSSI) that gives an RSSI value, but I dont know how to relate that to the signal strength.

What does the Raytec documentation say?

The AT commands will be proprietary to Raytec - they have nothing to do with Nordic.

You will have to ask Raytec for help with their AT commands and/or clarification of their documentation ...

Thank You very much, I will do that.
