The Transmitter reads the inputs at a rate called the Sampling Rate.
For the Switch Input Transmitter this rate is not configurable. The
Transmit Rate is the rate at which the Transmitter communicates
with the Base Radio. This rate is configurable. This section will walk
you through the initial configuration of the Transmit settings. The
subsections are as follows:
6.1: Selecting the Normal Transmission Rate
6.2: The Sampling Rate
6.3: Enabling the Smart Rate
6.1.

Selecting the Normal Transmit Rate

The Switch Input Transmitter will read its inputs at an interval called
the Sampling Rate. It then transmits these readings to the Base
Radio at an interval determined by the Normal Transmit Rate.
Notice that the fastest update rate of the Normal Transmit Rate is
dependent on the baud rate setting you selected earlier (see Section
5.2). The transmit rates cannot update data faster than their
communication speed allows. Thus, if you selected the 19.2K Baud
Rate setting, your fastest transmit rate will be 5 seconds. The
Transmitter automatically determines these settings and adjusts the
menu options accordingly. A complete table of these parameters is
shown below:
76.8K
500-750 feet
1 Second
1 Second or Greater
In order to properly set the Normal Transmission Rate, you must
first determine how often you need updates from the Transmitter.
You have a selectable range of 1-5, 10, 15, 20, 40 seconds and 1
minute. The factory default is 10 seconds.
If all of the data does not get through, the data is resent the
following second. This prevents data from being lost. However, if the
Transmission Rate is set to the maximum (1 second; 76.8K baud),
then the data cannot be resent the following second because the
next set of data must be sent in order to meet the Transmission
Rate.
