Operation

3.1 Overview

Note

HOST and HOST controller must be connected to each other by USB except for a case when TC-3000C uses an external HOST or HOST controller.

3.1 Overview

The Overview section contains illustrations of the display, the front and rear panels, and the menu system. These illustrations will help you understand and operate the TC-3000C.

3.1.1 TC-3000C System Architecture

TC-3000C is made up of two main blocks, a RF/DSP module and host CPU module, and is connected by a host controller interface (HCI) that is identical to Bluetooth system architecture. The RF/DSP module provides an RF interface to DUT, performs physical measurements and manages the Bluetooth link. The internal host CPU (PC), which runs on Linux platform, takes care of user interface (UI) functions including display, key input and I/O controls for RS-232C, USB, LAN and other standard peripheral devices. The adoption of open OS minimizes unnecessary constraints on system optimization. This simple, elegant system architecture takes advantage of both power of DSP and convenience of PC.

3.1 Overview

Note

When TC-3000C is turned on, the instrument does not return to the power-off condition –except for the Test Cases parameters which were saved - but recalls the settings from the most recently saved memory location (STORE Number).

3.1.15 Typical Test Configurations

Diagrams below are an ideal set up for testing Bluetooth devices. Since most Bluetooth devices use sealed antenna due to their size, final RF tests must be done over the air (OTA). In case of module or PCB testing, contact probes may also be used. In either case, testing must be completed under an adequately RF isolated condition with reliable RF coupling. If the DUT has a standard HCI, the TC-3000C can communicate with the DUT via USB(HCI) of TC-3000C for control DUT.

[Figure 4] Typical Test Configurations

3.2 Basic Operation Procedure

Caution

To maintain regulatory compliance, OTA (over to air) connection to the DUT must be carried out within an adequately RF isolated environment with reliable RF coupling.

Caution

Before running a test the DUT must be initialized so that it is Inquiry/Page scanning. If test mode is not enabled, the TC-3000C will use null packet mode for measurement and test.

3.2 Basic Operation Procedure

The following steps should be formed before other operation procedure to take measurements.

3.2.1 Step 1. Getting Started

1. Make sure the connections have been made between HOST and HOST Controller on

the rear panel of the TC-3000C via RS-232C or USB.

2. Connect the RF port of theTC-3000C to the DUT using RF cable or the 2.4GHz

antenna.

3. If DUT has the HCI port, connect the DUT to the USB ports on the front panel of the TC-3000C.

4. Set DUT to the Inquiry/Page scanning mode with test mode enabled. If the DUT is connected to the TC-3000C by using a standard USB(HCI), you don’t need to do this step because the TC-3000C can control the DUT automatically.

5. Press the soft switch (Item #16 in the figure on page 24) on the front panel. After the system booting process, the TC-3000C display the Start-up screen that is going to be changed to initial test screen 10 seconds later.

6. Make sure the “HCI Port” of DUT configuration: Press Menu  Select

“Configuration” from the pop-up menu on the screen  M2 (DUT)  F3 (HCI

port). Make sure the “HCI Port” of DUT configuration is correct for the HCI port of the

TC- 3000C in use. If the DUT is not connected to the HCI port of the TC-3000C, “None” must be selected.

3.2 Basic Operation Procedure

Caution

When TC-3000C is turned on, the instrument always recalls the settings from the most recently saved register. But if the TC-3000C can’t find any DUT in the preset HCI port while the TC-3000C is turned on, “HCI Port” of DUT configuration is set to “None”..

7. Make sure the “DUT Type” of DUT configuration: Press Menu  Select

“Configuration” from the pop-up menu on the screen  M2 (DUT)  F2 (DUT Type). Make sure the “DUT Type” of DUT configuration is correct.

8. Input the Path Loss: Press Menu  Select “Configuration” from the pop-up menu

on the screen

M2 (DUT)  F7 (Path Loss). Input the path loss value from the TC-3000C to the

DUT.

9. Select the Test mode (Transmitter, Loop back or Null Packet): Press Menu 

Select “Configuration” from the pop-up menu on the screen  M2 (DUT)  Press F8 three times for “More 4/4” menu  Press F2 and select a test mode from the drop

down menu.

3.2 Basic Operation Procedure

HCI Port: The HCI port on the rear panel of the TC-3000C, which the DUT is connected.

Path Loss: The path loss between the TC-3000C and the DUT.

More 4/5: Press F8 in sequence to access “More 4/5” screen.

Test Mode: You can choose Loopback or Transmitter or Null Packet. Null Packet mode is used to test DUT that has no test mode support. In this mode, the TC-3000C uses the packets without payloads and measurements are not performed in accordance with the Bluetooth Test specification and some test cases can’t be carried out. A NULL packet has no payload but can be used for power, initial frequency, and spectrum without having to activate test mode.

PIN Type: Fixed or Variable

PIN len. (Byte): Length of PIN

code in bytes

PIN code

DUT Type: Select DUT Type from

General, BT and BT LE

10 Input the PIN code: In case DUT requires authentication to connect, press Menu

 Select “Configuration” from the pop-up menu on the screen  M1 (Tester)  Press F8 two times for “More 3/5” menu. Configure PIN type, PIN length, and PIN code.

11 If you want to configure the TC-3000C, the DUT, and RF conditions more in detail,

press Menu  Select “Configuration” from the pop-up menu on the screen.

3.2 Basic Operation Procedure

Note

Skip pairing by using Link Key Bluetooth encryption is a multi-staged process that provides devices with secure,

encrypted communications. The process begins with a device prompting the user for a Personal identification Number (PIN). When the right PIN is entered, the DUT begins an encryption setup dialogue with the TC-3000C. At the beginning of this dialogue, the DUT and the TC-3000C agree on a Link Key. A Link Key is a 128-bit value that the two devices use for authentication. When the DUT and TC-3000C agree on a Link Key, the DUT then negotiates for the transfer of the Encryption Key from the TC-3000C. The Encryption Key is used to encrypt and decrypt messages. If you know the Link Key, you can skip the process with PIN code and reduce the test time. To enter Lin key, press Menu  Select “Configuration” from the pop-

up menu on the screen  M1 (Tester)  Press

F8 three times for “More 4/6” menu.  Press F6 , to check Skip Paring menu

 Press F7 and enter Link key. Skip the inquiry procedure The inquiry procedure enables a Bluetooth Device to discover which units are in

range, and what their device addresses and clocks are. It take 5 ~ 10 seconds to complete. If you already know the BD address of DUT, you can skip the inquiry procedure. To enter BD address, press Menu  Select “Configuration” from the

pop-up menu on the screen  M2 (DUT)  Press F8 one times for “More

2/4” menu. Press F2 , to uncheck “Inq. Supported” menu  Press F8 again for “More3/4” menu  Press F2 and enter the BD address.

Performance Test

4.1 General Information

The procedures in this chapter allow the verification of the electrical performance of TC3000C. It contains procedures suitable for determining if TC-3000C functions, is adjusted properly, and meets the performance characteristics as warranted. These tests do not require access to the interior of the instrument.

The set-up drawings at the beginning of each test procedure show the test configuration needed for each test. To perform the test procedures you need to know basic TC-3000C operation. You should be familiar with the front panel, the various test screens, and knob operation. The test procedures give critical instrument settings and connections, but they don’t tell the manufacture test specification.

There are two major ways to control TC-3000C remotely. One is to use Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file in order to make your own Bluetooth test application programs. The DLL provided by TESCOM is used to communicate with TC-3000C through TCP/IP, USB, or RS-232C interface. And it is independently supplied in accordance with firmware version of TC-3000C. Another is to use RS-232C commands without any other additional file contrary to the DLL.

5.1 Introduction

The purpose of this chapter is to help you develop test applications of your Bluetooth product in the test executive you intend to use. TC-3000C supports Ethernet(Host) / USB(Host Controller) / RS-232C(Host, Host Controller) port located at the rear panel for remote operation under PC control.

System Requirements: To develop test applications, your development platform should meet the following requirement.

 Operating System: Microsoft Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP.  Development Tool: Microsoft Visual C++.NET, Visual C++, Visual Basic, Boland C++

Bulider, National Instrument LabWindows/CVI, LabView, etc

Support scope: You can control following functions of TC-3000C.

 Test Configuration  RF Test Case  Measurement(DLL only)  Audio Test

5.2 Getting Started

Take a closer look at two kinds of TC-3000C remote control method. One is to use Dynamic Link Library (DLL). According to your need you can choose and use Ethernet(Host), USB(Host Controller) or RS-232C(Host Controller) port. And you are able to call some functions of DLL(“tc3k.dll”) for your testing goal. By the way, you have a trouble controlling two or more TC3000Cs in this case. That is why DLL containing Host program occupies most of CPU resources of your PC like the following figures.

Another is to send RS-232C commands. At present, you can utilize the command through

only RS-232C(Host) port. In this case, you don’t have any limitation to control several TC3000Cs at the same time contrary to DLL.
