The above two transmitter options function as such if either one of the modes would disable the transmitter under given conditions the transmitter will be disabled For the transmitter to be enabled the required conditions must be met for both options to allow the transmission 3 Randomize transmit interval If this option is selected the transmitter will wait a short random delay of up to 5 seconds before it transmits each data packet This can decrease the chances of lost packets due to devices talking over each other because of long term timer drift Devices that are initially synchronized to transmit 10 seconds apart can drift in their time keeping by up to 2 seconds per day meaning that they could potentially interfere with each other after a few days of sustained operation Because the transmission lasts less than a second a random delay of up to 5 seconds can allow the majority of the transmissions to escape interference If this trans mitter option is not selected the device will transmit at the interval set by its timer to within a few milliseconds It is then up to the user to make any necessary accommodations for the timer drift See Using Multiple Devices later in this manual 4 Use error correction If this option is selected the transmitter output format will be modified to include a simple forward error correction scheme known as a Hamming code This method of error correction allows the re ceiver in a one way
