4.2.1 Custom Configuration Blink Rate

Selecting <A> Rate from the custom configuration screen 1 will allow the user to

set the interval between normal keep alive blinks that the tag transmits and the

infrastructure receives for locating the tag and collecting data from the tag. The

normal keep alive blinks can be turned off by selecting <F1> OFF. The interval

can range from 5 seconds up to over 2 hours (depending on tag type). As soon as

the user selects one of the available intervals, the WhereWand application will

return to custom configuration screen 1 to allow another parameter to be selected

and modified. The user can press <Enter> to move between rate pages, or <ESC>

to return to the previous menu. Figure 11 shows the blink interval settings

available to the user.
