7.4. Top Sequencer: Beacon Mode
In this mode, a repetitive message is transmitted periodically. If the Payload being sent is always identical, and
PayloadLength is smaller than the FIFO size, the use of the BeaconOn bit in RegPacketConfig2 together with the
Sequencer permit to achieve periodic beacon without any user intervention.
7.4.1. Timing diagram
In this mode, the Radio is switched to Transmit mode every TTimer1 + TTimer2 and back to Idle mode after PacketSent, as
shown in the diagram below. The Sequencer insures minimal time is spent in Transmit mode, and therefore power
consumption is optimized.

7.4.2. Sequencer Configuration
The Beacon mode state machine is presented in the following graph. It is noticeable that the sequencer enters an infinite
loop and can only be stopped by setting SequencerStop bit in RegSeqConfig1.
