Priority merging gives priority to a particu-
lar source for as long as the DataGate MK2's
is receiving data from it. If the DataGate
loses connection it will maintain the previ-
ous frame and begin its count to the user
defined fall over time. If this is reached, the
output will be switched to the secondary
source. If data returns before the user de-
fined time is reached the switch over will
not happen and the first source will con-
tinue to be used
