2.3 Interpreting the Measurement Plots
The following figure illustrates the interpretation of the measurement plot.
The user must toggle the GPIO at the start and end of the event, which represents the period of operation in certain scenarios and the MAC state in remaining scenarios. The interpretation of the GPIO usage details are given for each scenario in the upcoming sections.
Note:
- In Join Procedure, Uplink Data Transmission Based on Data Rate
and Payload and
Downlink Data Reception,
the interpretation of plots is done considering “with period of operation”
(represented as
MAC_STATEunder the mentioned sections) and “without period of operation”.
- The scope of providing “without period of operation” plots is to help the user to emulate the scenarios.
- The scope of providing “with period of operation” plots is to help the user with the estimation of time taken by the Microchip LoRaWAN Stack (MLS) to perform the respective tasks in those specific scenarios.
