Me thod Se als.AckBurst
Description
Tells the DataSeals that send the specified type of
Burst message that their message has been
received, and that they can stop sending more
retries of it.
Remarks
The method has an argument called AckBurstType that determines the
specific type of command to perform.
When a DataSeal receives this command it stops sending more retries of
the same Burst message of the specified type, until a new Event of this kind
occurs.
8.5 Burst Messages
Burst messages are messages that a DataSeal transmits to the listening
DataReaders. Unlike the RF commands, the Burst messages are sent from
the DataSeal not as a response to a command, but asynchronous to the
DataReader's transmissions, as a result of some kind of event.
Be aware that Burst messages may interfere with normal RF commands
transmissions because they are not synchronized with them. Proper system
design should be made in order to prevent or overcome these cases.
There are 4 events that can cause Burst messages: Sealing Wire is opened,
Sealing Wire is closed, T he DataSeal is being put in Deep Sleep (either
through HF or LF), and an event that is initiated by a special RF command
