I've had my SDS100 for a few years now but only recently started using Favorite Lists.
I see a few different "delay" times in Sentinel and trying to understand more as to what each one does. Is there an explanation in layman terms for each or the difference between them?
Digital Waiting Time
Hold Time
Delay

As always, Thanks!!

Digital Wait Time is the time the scanner waits to see if the transmission is digital. When that times out, it assumes it is analog and opens the audio path. This can be eliminated by setting the channel to ANALOG ONLY.

Hold Time is the time the scanner scans that item. Hold Time 0 is recommended, as the scanner will then scan only the time required to get the data (scans a TRS minimal time or scans conventional channels only once).

Delay is the time after a transmission is over until it resumes scanning.
