All Beacons are internally triggered. Each Beacon’s interrogation rate is adjusted for its intended range. Xmit (interrogation) In-
terval must be longer than the maximum slant range to the target. E.g., A two-way travel time for a transponder at 1000m is
approximately 1.4 seconds ((1000 meters / 1500 meter/second) * 2 ) = 1.33 seconds).
Beacon LED’s (Trigger-In, Interrogate, Receive) shows status of each beacon Interrogation Interval every 9 seconds.
Trigger-Out signal is transmitted at the time of each beacon interrogation LED flash.
