How to test the DATA rate of the BLE between two nrf5340?

[Cong Ma]

Hello, I have successfully connected two NRF5340s using central_uart and peripheral_uart and can send messages to each other. But I don't know how to test the data rate.

Hi Cong, 

You can test the throughput with this throughput example: https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/samples/bluetooth/throughput/README.html

In the example you can test throughput between two nRF5340s.

If you want to test the throughput between NRF5340 and phone you can have a look at my example here.

Thanks for the suggestion. For the terminal emulator, can I use the arduino ide? Because I dont know how to set putty， I followed the settings in the tutorial https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/gs_testing.html#putty but I still can't open the port.

Any UART terminal should work. I would suggest to get familiar with UART by testing uart example or peripheral_uart example before you move forward.
