THE MEANING OF TEST RESULTS AND ERROR CODES

Test Result

Error
Code

Remark

Pass 0x00

No

error.

Frame
truncated

0x01

XIR, SNRM, RR, and TEST successful. But the Test response(s)
received is (are) truncated. This is allowed according to IrLAP
Version 1.1, but the propose of sending and receiving TEST
commands/responses are not accomplished (due to this loophole in
IrLAP Version 1.1)

XID frame failed 0x99

after repeated 0-slot XID commands, IR3200M did not receive
correctly formatted XID response.

SNRM frame
failed

0x89

XID successful, SNRM sent, IR3200M did not receive correctly
formatted UA response.

RR frame failed 0x79

XID and SNRM successful, IR3200M received UA response
indication that the intended data rate is supported and set to this
data rate. But after IR3200M repeated sending RR commands at
that data rate, IR3200M did not receive correctly formatted
response.

Rate not
supported

0x81

XID and SNRM successful, IR3200M received UA response
indicating that the intended data rate to be tested is not supported.

First test frame
failed

0x09

XIR, SNRM, and RR successful, but IR3200M never received any
correctly formatted Test frame response.

Test frame
failed

0x02

IR3200M will disconnect the connection and quit the current test
item if it failed to get correct response to anyone of its test frames.
This error means that XIR, SNRM, RR, and at least one TEST
successful there after.


Pass = no any bit error happened with this cycle.

Failed = any error happened with this cycle.

Error Rate = failed Cycles / Cycles tested

7) PHYSICAL LAYER TEST

Check the frame encoding/decoding (Byte stuffing of SIR, Bit-stuffing of MIR or 4 PPM
encoding/decoding).

Receiver sensitivity test.

To socialite frames from the secondary device for measuring its physical layer
parameters, such as transmitter intensity, timing parameters.

8) IRLAP TEST


Check the basic IrLAP layer implement, such as Discovery (XID), Negotiate (SNRM),
Data sending / receiving at different speed (FIR/MIR/SIR), FCS (Frame Check
Sequence) implements, speed support and changing and etc.
