3 Verify RF Performance With BTool

BTool is a PC Application that allows you to form a connection between two Bluetooth LE devices. BTool acts as a network processor to let you send HCI vendor specific commands to a CC26xx/CC13xx LaunchPad. Using BTool requires the CC26xx/CC13xx device to be flashed with either the host_test sample application or firmware enabling PTM function [3].

Using BTool, you can perform the same RF tests as SmartRF Studio by sending HCI commands to the CC26xx/CC13xx device. This section discusses how to operate BTool, how to perform Tx and Rx testing, and how to run RSSI and PER tests.
