    The last mode is sleep. Modules can be sent to sleep by other modules or they can go to sleep themselves when their messages are no longer being used. See Sleep Delay Settings later.

    So if there is a requirement that recorded sets of readings are within a certain time of each other, then that time is the maximum message interval that should be set for the Transmitters regardless of the actual log interval of the software (Which should always be greater than the Transmitter message interval). Mantracourt Electronics Limited T24 Telemetry User Manual...
  • Page 23: Bandwidth

    This is a simple way to break down modules into smaller groups and control what messages get repeated. Changing the repeater subgroup is not normally necessary unless the bandwidth is very full due to either many Transmitter modules being present or very fast transmissions from modules.
