How to measure XBee signal strength with C code

Does anyone know how to measure signal strength with the XBee using the Propeller ActivityBoard? Preferably, this would be done using C code.

I am trying to avoid using the external piece of software that is usually used.

Thanks for the help!

What's the external software?

There are two ways I know of, the RSSI pin outputs PWM. You can also send it the AT command to request it.

Sorry for the late response.

I was talking about X-CTU.

So if I sent the AT command in my code, it would return an integer value?

Oh okay I was thinking software in addition to X-CTU.

Thanks for the chart!

It will come in handy, especially since I do not have it already
