NP (Maximum Packet Payload Bytes)

This command applies to the XBee 3 DigiMesh RF Module.

Reads the maximum number of RF payload bytes that you can typically send in a transmission based on current parameter settings. Some options may impact maximum payload size that are not captured by the NP value.

See Maximum payload for more information.

The XBee 3 DigiMesh RF Module firmware returns a fixed number of bytes: 0x49 = 73 bytes without encryption, 65 bytes with encryption.

Note NP returns a hexadecimal value. For example, if NP returns 0x41, this is equivalent to 65 bytes.
