A module with sleep enabled will transmit periodic I/O samples at the IR rate until the ST time expires and the
device can resume sleeping. See the sleep section for more information on sleep.
Digital I/O Change Detection
Modules can be configured to transmit a data sample immediately whenever a monitored digital I/O pin
changes state. The IC command is a bitmask that can be used to set which digital I/O lines should be
monitored for a state change. If one or more bits in IC is set, an I/O sample will be transmitted as soon as a
state change is observed in one of the monitored digital I/O lines. The figure below shows how edge detection
can work with periodic sampling.
General Purpose Flash Memory
XBee-PRO 900HP modules provide 119 512-byte blocks of flash memory which can be read and written by the
user application. This memory provides a non-volatile data storage area which can be used for a multitude of
purposes. Some common uses of this data storage include: storing logged sensor data, buffering firmware
upgrade data for a host microcontroller, or storing and retrieving data tables needed for calculations
performed by a host microcontroller. The General Purpose Memory (GPM) is also used to store a firmware
upgrade file for over-the-air firmware upgrades of the XBee module itself.
Accessing General Purpose Flash Memory
The GPM of a target node can be accessed locally or over-the-air by sending commands to the
MEMORY_ACCESS cluster ID (0x23) on the DIGI_DEVICE endpoint (0xE6) of the target node using explicit API
frames. (Explicit API frames are described in the API Operation section.
To issue a GPM command the payload of an explicit API frame should be formatted in the following way:
