Bluetooth LE Property 0x18 - Minimum Background Advertising Interval
(Bluetooth LE Only, Custom Advertising Only)
Bluetooth LE Property ID:
0x18
Get Property: Yes
Set Property: Yes
Non-Volatile: Yes
Default value: 32 (20 milliseconds)
This property is a two byte integer in least significant byte order, in 625 microsecond increments, that
contains the
minimum background advertising interval
. This property, combined with
Property 0x19 - Maximum Background Advertising Interval (Bluetooth LE Only, Custom
Advertising Only)
, determines the Bluetooth LE advertising interval the device uses when the initial or
pairing advertising interval is not in effect. Smaller advertising intervals cause the device to consume
more power when advertising, which may be a concern when running on battery power.
Only values between 32 (20ms) and 16384 (10.24s) are valid. Using values outside this range causes
unpredictable behavior.
Bluetooth LE Property 0x19 - Maximum Background Advertising Interval
(Bluetooth LE Only, Custom Advertising Only)
may also need to be adjusted when changing this
property. If the maximum background advertising interval is less than the minimum, the device may
behave unpredictably.
This property is stored in non-volatile memory, so it persists when the device is power cycled. This
property would typically only be changed once during device configuration if needed. Modifying this
property too many times wears out flash memory.
Because this property affects Bluetooth LE behavior, MagTek recommends only changing it using the
USB interface. When this property is changed, the device must be reset (see
) or powered off, then powered on, before the changes will take effect.
This property was added in eDynamo Bluetooth LE firmware version 1000002650C02.
