Well, that depends, but couldn't you simply save the successfully decoded packets to a file (assuming that no broken packages pass the checksums) and divide that file's size by the payload size of a packet? You'd limit the amount of payload being sent using the good ol' head block. Best regards

Hi Gabriele, if there is no output, chances are the receiver side packet detector doesn't see any valid packets. Make sure tx and rx parameters match, and adjust the RX gain. Make sure no under/overflows happen. There's quite a lot of things that can go wrong in a real-world transceiver, but these

Hi Gabriele, have you tried adding more gain on the TX side? Also, you will need to increase sampling rate. Right now, you're using 100kHz, which is 1/1000 of the master clock rate of the N200. If I'm not mistaken, the maximum decimation for the N200 is 512, and hence the minimum rate would be 100
