RADIO TIMEOUT
After a code has been read and transmitted, the radio remains active for the
amount of time set by the Radio Timeout parameter. This is particularly useful
when the Host is expected to send a reply message to the gun. This parameter
depends heavily on the application and is therefore provided here for system
optimization according to your application.
The default value for this parameter is 008 (about 1/2 sec.). This is a
reasonable value for most applications, but it could need to be changed
according to the following considerations:
•
If your application does not require the host to send messages to the
gun(s), (which is true for all Wedge applications), the best setting for the
radio timeout is the minimum value 001 which is about 1/16 of a second.
This allows maximum battery autonomy.
•
When your application requires bi-directional communications, the radio
timeout must be set according to the number of guns and the amount of
traffic so that no host messages are lost.
NOTE
Setting the radio timeout to 000 causes the radio to always
be ON. If you do this, the gun will accept messages from the
host at any time, but the batteries will discharge quickly.
To change the default parameter, follow the instructions below:
