When a peripheral advertises on one of the three advertising channels, does it listen for a short duration on that channel (as implemented by the Softdevice?) And then repeat for the other two channels, and then sleep with the radio off (not listening at all) until the next time to advertise as defined by the mode (fast or slow?)
And the advertising timeout parameter has little to do with how long the receiver is on, only with how long advertisements are sent without a connection?
Does the duration, after a transmit of an advertisement, that a peripheral listens vary with the advertising mode?
