The flawless performance of the crystal oscillator is crucial for
|
||||||
|
operation. Anomalies are easy to detect with even a low-cost oscilloscope
|
||||||
|
and pinpoint specific problems and help to select further analysis steps.
|
||||||
|
<P>
|
||||||
|
The crystal used in <B>atben</B> and <B>atusb</B> has a nominal tolerance
|
||||||
|
of +/- 15 ppm at 22-28 C. Low-cost oscilloscopes typically have a timing
|
||||||
|
accuracy of
|
||||||
|
+/- 100 ppm, which means that only major excursions can be detected by
|
||||||
|
measuring the clock output with such an instrument. Full-speed USB only
|
||||||
|
requires an accuracy of +/- 2500 ppm.
|
||||||
|
We can therefore consider all results within a range of +/- 1000 ppm as
|
||||||
|
sufficient, and perform more precise measurements by other means. This
|
||||||
|
applies to <B>atben</B> as well as to <B>atusb</B>.

<H4>Measuring the clock on atben</H4>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<B>atben</B> normally does not output a clock signal. A 1 MHz clock
|
||||||
|
can be enabled with the following command:
|
||||||
|
<PRE>
|
||||||
|
atrf-txrx -d net:ben -C 1
|
||||||
|
</PRE>
|
||||||
|
This configures <B>atben</B> as a promiscuous receiver. The reception
|
||||||
|
of any IEEE 802.15.4 frame or pressing Ctrl-C will terminate the command.

<H4>Measuring the clock on atusb</H4>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The transceiver provides the clock for the microcontroller in <B>atusb</B>.
|
||||||
|
A clock signal is therefore always available. Immediately after reset,
|
||||||
|
the transceiver generates a 1 MHz clock. When the microcontrolled comes out
|
||||||
|
of reset, it raises the transceiver's clock output to 8 MHz and then
|
||||||
|
enables USB.
