Issue using AT%XRFTEST command on Thingy:91

[PrashanthVakrani]

Hello,

We are evaluating Thingy:91 for NB-IoT. We want to validate the RF transmit test and are using %XRFTEST command.

The syntax is as follows, AT%XRFTEST=1,1,3,18000,10,0,4,0,0,0

But we are getting only an error message.

The screen shot is here,

Please help us understand why is the command not working

Hi!

What firmware are you running on the Thingy:91 while doing this? And are you able to send other AT commands to the modem, such as AT+CFUN?

Best regards,

Heidi

Hello,

The Firmware is out of the box what comes with Thingy:91. Not sure if it is V0.2.3 or lesser.

Yes, Other AT commands like AT+CFUN are responding properly. Mostly the Nordic proprietary "Set commands" are not responding.

The Thingy:91 comes shipped with the asset_tracker sample, which connects the device to nRF Cloud. To send AT commands to the modem, I recommend flashing the at_client sample to your device, which you can find in ncs\nrf\samples\nrf9160\at_client. 

Best regards,
