Perhaps the answer in this thread could give you some hints.

That would be it, yes. Ideally I want to be able to measure the delay as well, but at the moment, I think parsing the log of the Master Control Panel will be my primary method of gathering arrival timing. I'm guessing I'll have a fairly accurate delay measurement if I send some sort of timing ping over the UART of the sender to my computer, and comparing the two arrival times.

I've "solved" my issue of only sending 8 messages, by using the following as the main loop.

for (;;)
{
			if(m_is_sending_data)
			{
				data_send();
			}
			else {
				power_manage();
			}
}

The sender then transmits a fixed amount of packages. And I'm trying to see how different distances/environments affect the troughput and the delay.

Hi Kjern

I do not fully understand what your goal is. Is it to maximize throughput and minimize delay? Perhaps you can clarify so I can be more accurate in my response.
