Second test mode: Test Pattern

Third test mode: Latency Test

This test measures the time it takes data packets to travel across your communication channel. For this

mode, two Click 510 devices must be connected, with both of them set in this mode.
1 On both devices, hold the push-button down, then release when the yellow LED is solid.

2 Press both push-buttons to select. The results from the last latency test will appear in the LEDs.

3 Press the push-button again on either one of the devices to start the test.

4 While the test runs, the red and yellow LEDs will flash as the 510 tries different packet sizes.
When the test is finished, the results can be viewed in two ways:

Before the test, connect via serial from a computer to the device that is initiating the test, then after the

test, look at the results in a serial terminal program.

Look at the LEDs on the device running the

test. See the graphic to the right for what the

LEDs mean.

See the Click Series User Guide for more infor-

mation.

Test Pattern mode tests communication channels by sending data packets over the channel. It’s helpful for

debugging because it locates the break in your channel of communication. To use it, connect two Click 510

devices together or connect a Click 510 to a computer. The responses can be monitored with serial terminal

software or by watching the LEDs on the receiving 510.
1 Hold the push-button down, then release when the blue LED comes on solid.

2 Press the push-button to select. The first yellow LED will turn on to let you use that submenu.

3 To pick how often the device will send data, hold down the push-button and it will cycle through the

time options shown in the table below. Release when you reach one you want.

4 Press the push-button to select. The first red LED will turn on to let you use that submenu.

5 To pick what kind of data the device will send, hold down the push-button and it will cycle through the

traffic options shown in the table below. Release when you reach one you want.

6 Press the push-button to select. The mode will run. Observe the connected Click 510 or computer to

monitor that the packets are being received.
