Hi,
I'm Tommaso Mineccia, a student in Computer Engineering of University of
Florence. I need to do some tests with the Iris mote using TinyOs 2.1.0 and
the LowPowerListening interface. I have read the Tep105 and the tutorial
"Writing Low-Power Applications" but I don't understand some things.

1.   When I use a timer there is an event for its firing, but when I use the
LPL interface which event is called when the radio turn on?

2.   In TinyOs 1.0 LowPowerListening interface had some command to set the
preamble length and check interval length, in TinyOs 2.1.0 is possible to
set those parameters? If they are static, how long they are? If I can change
they, where can I find their settings?

3.   The tutorial says "Because the LPL check period is much longer than a
packet, a transmitter must send its first packet enough times for a receiver
to have a chance to hear it. The transmitter stops sending once it receives
a link-layer acknowledgment or a timeout". How many times the transmitter
sends the packet? Can I change this parameter? How long are the ack-wait
timeout and the timeout before the transmitter goes to sleep?

4.   For my tests I take the timestamp of each packet that my mote receive
and transmit and I store the value in the mote log, how can I read that
value on my PC?

Thanks a lot for your time,

Tommaso Mineccia
