Direct Test Mode for rRF24L01

We will do test the wireless module with the nRF24L01 chip for Japan Radio law. We must achieve test mode such as FCC rule or R&TTE rule. We have some questions about these test. Would you tell us answers?

Q1. We have the nRFgo tool. Can we use the Direct Test Mode of this tool?

Q2. If we can use this tool, tell me how to connect the wireless module to nRFgo tool. Pins assignment and so on.

Q3. If we cannot use this tool, then would you tell us the best way to achieve testmode? We need fixed channel continuous transmission with and without modulation. And continuous receiving.

  • The Direct Test Mode is a Bluetooth specific test mode and is not available for the nRF24L01. You will be able to set the nRF24L01 into same or similar test mode by using the test functionality of the nRF24L01. Please have a look in the Register Map of the nRF24L01+ product specification.. You'll see that you are able to set CONT_WAVE and PLL_LOCK, you can set the chip into continuous RX operation. If the test lab requires you to send payloads you have to configure a payload and send as often as needed/possible.
