5) TEST SCRIPT AND PARAMETERS
• Speed
Data transfer speed, supports SIR (9600, 19.2K, 38.4K, 57.6K, 115.2K), MIR
(0.576M,1.152M) and FIR (4M).
• Frame size of the test frame, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, or 2048 bytes.
Note 1: Some device does not support big frame for test even it tell you "I do" during
the negotiation. That is only for data transfer. For example, windows IrDA stack
support 2048-byte for data transfer but only 256-byte and less for test frame.
Note 2: At low speed use big frame may fail cause by the Max Turnaround Time. For
example at 9600 and MTAT is 500 ms, to transfer a 512-byte frame may take
• Number of frames: 1- 255
• Data Patterns of Test Frame
1. All 00: all 0x00. Each SIR byte has nine IR pulses.
2. All FF: all 0xFF. Each SIR byte has only one IR pulse.
3. Random: pseudo random sequence of bytes
4. 00&FF mixed:
Repeated sequence of the following 8 bytes:
{0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0xFF,0xFF,0xFF,0xFF}
5. Double width: (special for FIR test) all 0x33
6. Mixed pulses: (special for FIR test) Repeated sequence of the following 5
bytes: {0x33,0x33,0xBE,0x88,0x88}
• Number of cycles: 0 - 10,000. 0 means no limit. The default is 2.
Cycle: have sent and received all test frames with the defined parameters, such as
speed, frame size, number of frames, data pattern.
