Setting Wifi module in Rx mode

Mon May 04, 2020 8:16 am

Hi,
I need to test if a device I have been working on complies with Radio regulations. To do that I need to set the wifi module of my raspberry pi zero w in Rx mode. What I mean by Rx mode is that it should not be sending anything(as that would damage the equipment in the lab) but still recieve data. I don't wanna disable the wifi module as I still want the antenna to be active.

Is this possible? Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in advance!

edit: I ofcourse mean Rx mode not Tx mode....

Tx mode means transmitting.
