NXP Semiconductors

Step 6: Open the SetUp.ini file using a text editor. The value of the parameter

DutIpAddress is the IP address of the DUT. The parameter HostIpAddress is the IP address of the Windows PC. Edit the file as follows:

[DutIp] DutIpAddress = 192.168.0.10 HostIpAddress = 192.168.0.58 Protocol = TCP

Step 7: In the SetUp.ini file, the parameter NO_EEPROM is used to specify the calibration data storage option. The default value is 1 (Use calibration data from the external configuration file).

For general RF evaluation and test, set the file option to 1 to use the calibration data from an external file. If the calibration data is already stored in the OTP memory of IW416 device, set the value to 2.

[DutInitSet] 0 = EEPROM support 1 = No_EEPROM support 2 = OTP support NO_EEPROM = 1 NoEepromBtFlexFileName = WlanCalData_ext.conf NoEepromWlanFlexFileName = WlanCalData_ext.conf

UM11434
