advertising interval and advertising timeout

[ponlakshmi]

Can anyone pls explain what is relation between advertising interval and advertising timeout.. Consider now i am setting advertising interval 1 second how i can prove or check it is advertising according to that advertising interval.

[shibshab]

Advertising interval is the time between each Advertise Event. In each advertise event the device will issue Advertise packets on the three advertisement channels (37,38 and 39).

In other words, if you have set your advertise interval to 1 second, you will see advertisement packets (events) from the device once each second.

The advertisement timeout is used to tell the device for how long it should advertise. If it is set to 0 no timeout will be used, and the device will advertise until it is told not to.

Then the advertising interval should be greater than the advertising timeout.Now i am debugging nordic_uart service program which is in examples folder in sdk9.0.0.In that program advertising interval defined as 40 ms and advertising timeout defined as 180 seconds.How is it possible?? or whether i misunderstand your explanation.Thanks in advance
