AX Parameter Calculator

AX Parameter Calculator is a lightweight piece of software that enables you to generate snippets using custom PHY parameter values. The app can simplify the development of the register setup file that you are working on to connect the firmware and radio hardware.

The setup is quick and painless, despite the fact that it entails decompressing the archive and then following the steps indicated by the installer. Upon launch, you come face to face with a clean and user-friendly interface that is split into two main panels. While the right panel allows you to view a list of the devices connected, you can select the desired parameter values from the left pane.

The editing panel consists of four tabs, each representative of the values that it enables you to modify according to your project. For instance, in the Radio tab, you can specify whether it is an RX or TX types along with the corresponding modulation, carrier frequency, bandwidth deviation, bitrate and the Bit timing recovery or Transmit power.

In order to generate snippets, you need to undergo five simple steps, starting with defining the RFIC target. On a side note, while the app supports most Axsem transmitters, it is recommended that you employ AXGen2-RadioLab for generating the code for the AX5051.

The second and third steps imply selecting the desired IC target and defining the radio parameters. In case you working with an RX/TX pair, then you can avoid mistakes and get the best fitting RX values by inputting the TX parameters via the Copy from Tx button.

The next step entails defining the framing parameter, but it is advisable that you remember to increase the default chip setting for intermediate frequencies to 1.025 MHz, so you get better sensitives. Lastly, you need to select the desired output, namely straight code, table driven or burst table.

If you are interested in developing software solutions that can enhance the performance of Axsem radio devices or that provide users more tweaking options, then AX Parameter Calculator might be the tool to try out.
