ANT Burts/Advance Burst

Hello,

I have query about ANT burst mode, I want to confirm that which mode of ANT BURST uses automatic retries and which does not. Here is a document which states ANT BURST uses automatic retires but it's not clear if this is classic and advanced mode of burst.

Thanks. 

  • All burst modes use retries, I am not aware of any way to disable retries. From the document you refer to:

    "ANT Burst mode automatically retries lost packets up to 5 times; as a result of this, data throughput can be significantly affected by the quality of the RF link. In other words, the more packets ANT has to retry, the lower the data throughput. "

    Best regards,
    Kenneth
