NP (Maximum Packet Payload Bytes)

This command applies to the XBee/XBee-PRO Zigbee RF Module.

Reads the maximum number of RF payload bytes that you can send in a transmission.

Using APS encryption (API transmit option bit enabled), reduces the maximum payload size by 9 bytes.

Using source routing (AR < 0xFF), further reduces the maximum payload size.

Note NP returns a hexadecimal value. For example, if NP returns 0x54, this is equivalent to 84 bytes.

Parameter range

0 - 0xFFFF (bytes) [read-only]

Default

[read-only]
