Reasonable broadcast times should be held to no longer than 2 seconds, that way
only one sensor gas detection interval is missed per scan loop (essentially, every other
sample, since the SEC 3000 sensor outputs a gas value every 1.65 seconds), worse case.
This is accomplished primarily by adjusting the number of records broadcast per gas
detection scan loop.
Example Scan Loop (100 gas detectors) with a Sliding Window (25 Records):
7 seconds
Gas Detector Loop 1:
ID 1 – 100 scanned again
7 seconds
Gas Detector Loop 2:
ID 1 - 100 scanned again
7 seconds
Gas Detector Loop 3:
ID 1 - 100 scanned again
7 seconds
Gas Detector Loop 4:
ID 1 - 100 scanned again
Example Scan Loop (100 gas Detectors) without a Sliding Window (100 records):
7 seconds
Gas Detector Loop 1:
ID 1 – 100 scanned again
7 seconds
Gas Detector Loop 2:
ID 1 - 100 scanned again
