26.3 Tracking Transfer
Description
Tracking data is always transferred to the standby system once every scan of the control system. During a tracking transfer from the
control system to the standby system, the next scan does not start in the control system.
When a tracking transfer from the control system is to be performed and the previous tracking is still in progress, the tracking
transfer from the control system is canceled and the previous tracking continues.
The control system starts the next scan without waiting for notifications of data reception/reflection completion from the standby
system.
