scan time per channel

Yes, that is correct. By the way, the relevant files for you inside the examples are the files ending in "timeslot" (f. ex. scanner_beacon_timeslot). I see now that the examples also implement scanning / advertising with the softdevice. This is because this is now possible while in a connection, but it was not when the example was written the first time.

I see, thank you! And the advertisment time on each channel depends on the advertisement data length?

Hello.

You will scan on each channel as long as the scan window is set. See the scanning section of the ble central tutorial.

You might be interested in using the timeslot API, where you can control the radio manually. Then you can broadcast advertisements and scan on certain channels. Check out the timeslot tutorial, and the multiactivity examples. The multiactivity examples show how to both advertise and scan inside timeslots.
