S ETTING TOTAL SCAN TIME
The total scan time is the maximum amount of time a complete scan cycle can
take, but the actual time to complete a scan cycle can be less than this, since other
settings, like TOA, may cause the receiver to adjust the scan time adaptively.
If a scan cycle takes less than the calculated total scan time calculated then the
receiver can be setup to wait until the total scan time has elapsed before it starts
another scan cycle. Setting the total scan time allows multiple receivers to
synchronize their scan cycles and it is a power saving option, because the receiver
shuts down all antennas and lowers their Gain while it waits for the total scan
time to elapse.
Set Total Scan Time via Codelog > 1)Config## > 2)Scan Settings > 2)Param >
2)Total Scan Time. Total scan time format is minutes/seconds (mm/ss).
If a total scan time is not set (left as 00:00) then the receiver immediately
starts another scan cycle.
If the total scan time set is less than the calculated total scan time (see below)
then the value entered is ignored and the receiver treats it as if no total scan
time was set.
CALCULATING TOTAL SCAN TIME
The following formula should be used to determine the maximum amount of
time a scan cycle could take. Use the results of this calculation for the Total Scan
Time value.
(# of Radio Frequencies) x (# of Radio Antennas [including Master])

(# of Acoustic Frequencies) x (# of Hydrophones [including Master])
