   4 Description:
   5
   6 TestMultihopLqi is a hacked-up version of MultihopOscilloscope whose purpose
   7 is to test the LQI code in lib/net/lqi. It achieves this by creating a
   8 CC2420ActiveMessageC component that generates synthetic LQI values. These
   9 values have no resemblance to those found in the real world, and so are of
  10 no use whatsoever when evaluating the effectiveness of a protocol that uses
  11 them. They can be, however, useful for testing code, which is exactly
  12 what this application does.

  14 Known bugs/limitations:
  15
  16 This application is solely intended as a mechanism to test code paths
  17 in lib/net/lqi. It is therefore of no predictive or quantitative value.

  19 Notes:
  20
  21 TestMultihopLqi configures a mote whose TOS_NODE_ID modulo 500 is zero
  22 to be a collection root. The TOSSIM script "script.py" is a sample
  23 driver program.
