What are the differences between the Digi 9XStream and the 9XCite modules?
Here is a brief table highlighting the differences:
| |
9XCite |
9XStream |
| Output power |
1mW |
100mW |
| Input voltage |
2.85 to 5.5VDC variable |
5VDC regulated |
| Current consumption |
50/35 mA (TX/RX) |
150/50 mA (TX/RX) |
| Data throughput rates |
9600 or 38400 |
9600 or 19200 |
| LOS range |
0.2 to 2 miles |
7 to 10 miles |
| Non-LOS range |
300 ft |
1200 ft |
| Antenna options |
Wire, RPSMA |

| Reliable Delivery (ATRR) |
None |
Yes |
| Frequency usage |
Hopping or Single channel |

| ESD resistance |
Yes |
Yes |
In addition to the differences highlighted above: the 9XCite has fewer command and parameter options than the XStream product family. Specifically:
- Reliable delivery protocols are not supported on the 9XCite, including the ATRR and ATRN commands. RR must be turned OFF on an XStream in order to communicate with a 9XCite.
- Binary command mode is not available in the 9XCite.
- 9XCite supports a subset of the AT commands: DT, HP, MK, CS and CD. Other parameters are configurable through PC software only.
