General Setup
4.1 Measurement and Transmit Intervals
The ORB can be configured to take periodic measurements and then to transmit those measurements at
various intervals or on exception. When not measuring or transmitting, the ORB will remain in a very
low power state, referred to as sleep. For example, the ORB can be configured to measure temperature at
1 minute intervals, but only to transmit the temperature once an hour or if a warning or alarm level is
exceeded (an exception occurs). By allowing a more regular measurement interval and a less frequent
transmit interval, the ORB is able to reduce power consumption by remaining asleep, thereby maximising
battery life. In the event of an exception, a more regular transmit rate can be selected.
