Burst Mode Parameters
Burst mode is a special communication mode in which a HART slave device sends
responses to a particular HART command on a predetermined, periodic schedule without
being polled by the master. Normally, a HART slave device only responds when being
polled by the master.
When burst mode is used, a HART slave device can publish data (for example process
values) independently in regular time intervals. Data can be sent as scheduled, or only if
the value has changed by a significant amount or has not been updated within a default
reporting time.
Up to 10 different burst modes can be set for the adapter or connected HART devices.

Note!
Battery lifetime
The more frequently burst messages are sent the more battery power is consumed, thus
reducing battery lifetime.
