Table 5-3. Approximate Reprogramming Times - Passive Mode
Radio assumptions: Signal strength -85 dBm or stronger, Packet Size: 40, Block Size:
512, Retry: 3, Download Delay: Short.
Polling assumptions: Serial polling with 1-second poll time, sending random data at
50-100 bytes. Slower polling times will significantly increase completion time.
