README for TxThroughput Author/Contact: tinyos-help@millennium.berkeley.edu Description: This application is used more for characterization rather than a test. It measures the maximum radio throughput using the largest message payload size, and does not use low power listening. INSTALL Compile and install this application to one mote. Leave the mote connected to the computer. EXPECTATIONS Led1 will toggle as each message is transmitted. Once a second, the mote will send a packet through the serial port to the computer. Tools: Run the TxThroughput java application: Linux: java TxThroughput.class [-comm ] Windows: java TxThroughput [-comm ] The TxThroughput Java application will display the number of packets per second and the number of bytes sent in the payload per second: [Packets/s]: 124; [(Payload Bytes)/s]: 3472 [Packets/s]: 126; [(Payload Bytes)/s]: 3528 [Packets/s]: 115; [(Payload Bytes)/s]: 3220 [Packets/s]: 124; [(Payload Bytes)/s]: 3472 Known bugs/limitations: None. $Id$
