Description
[45/55]
TX slot length
Sets the slot length (in milliseconds) that the station can transmit
data during a self report or event. The slot length must be able
to accommodate all the values included in a transmission.
Shorter slot lengths allow more slots in a given frame. However,
short slots contain fewer values. The range is 250 to 10000, but
the value needs to be an integral multiple of the INDS minimum
slot size. Typically, this value is set to 500 or 1000; default is 1000.
[46/55]
TX slot time
offset into frame
Sets the amount of time (in milliseconds) into the TDMA frame
that the station-transmission slot will begin. Each station in the
network must have a unique slot offset to prevent multiple
stations from transmitting at the same time. Range is 0 to length
of the frame minus the slot length. Default is 0.
[47/55]
TX centered in
slot
If enabled, the message is centered in the TDMA slot.
0 (default) = disable
1 = enable
[48/55]
TX minimum
buffer in slot
Units are milliseconds. Default is 25.
