4.8. Information on Burst Settings for the Marker
The parameter “Time between Bursts (Marker)” is not simply a delay time. It is in fact a timeslot. In
this timeslot, the Transponder chooses a random moment to do a single burst. This avoids that burst
collisions with other Transponders, that are simultaneously triggered by the same marker loop. These
timeslots are repeated until all bursts are sent.
In the event that dozens of Transponders are triggered to burst at once, this value can be increased.
The result of increasing the slot width is there will be a longer time interval between other bursts
being sent. For example, with an increased value of 700 ms and 8 bursts, the amount of time for all
bursts is 5.6 seconds.
Example
This example shows 3 Transponders (A, B, C) that are simultaneously triggered by a marker loop (LF
marker) and are configured to burst 3 times. The timeslot (Time between Bursts) is set to the default
value of 40 ms.
The last row shows how the random use of the timeslot avoids collision between the Transponders.
