Dwell Time

The MHX-920 is a frequency hopping transceiver, meaning that it “hops” to a new
frequency after a predetermined time interval. The receiver shall hop in synchronization
with the master when the network address and the hopping patterns of the master and the
slave are set to the same. The hopping patterns are stored in an onboard EEPROM and
programmed in the factory. The hop time interval is a fixed time set by the user, and can
range from 8ms to 120ms. The master’s transmit time is less than the 120ms and varies
depending on the size of the packet. See plots 1 and 2.

In plot 1, there is data on the serial port and the unit transmits for 51.99ms. In any case
the maximum time for the system to be on a single channel is 120ms as stated in the
MHX-920 User’s Manual.

In plot 2, there is no data transmitted over the RS-232 port and hence the master only
transmits a beacon, which is 3.85ms in duration.
