When developing a PC application interfacing to ANT, the basic sequence to configure an ANT channel is:
1. Set the network key.
ANT_SetNetworkKey(ANT_NETWORK, aucNetworkKey);
2. Assign the channel
ANT_AssignChannel(ANT_CHANNEL, ucChannelType, ANT_NETWORK);
3. Set the channel ID
ANT_SetChannelId(ANT_CHANNEL, usDeviceID, ucDeviceType, ucTxType);
4. Set the message period
ANT_SetChannelPeriod(ANT_CHANNEL, usMessagePeriod);
5. Set the RF frequency
ANT_SetChannelRFFreq(ANT_CHANNEL, ucRFFreq);
6. Open the channel
OpenChannel(ANT_CHANNEL);
The application must make sure that each command was successful before proceeding to the next step. You may also set the transmit power and slave timeout, however these are optional (as is RF frequency and message rate).
