Using the Motion Threshold and Reconnect Threshold
This section explains how to increase the efficiency of data transfers to
and from the CTS’s buffer by adjusting the motion threshold and
reconnect threshold. Although start/stop operations are not as efficient
as streaming operations, you can maximize start/stop performance
by adjusting the motion threshold. You can maximize streaming
performance by adjusting the reconnect threshold. You adjust these
thresholds using the MODE SELECT command (see Table 3-5), or you
can request default values for these thresholds as an EEPROM option.
Table 3-5 indicates where you can set the motion and reconnect
thresholds using the MODE SELECT command. If you send
conflicting values on different pages of the MODE SELECT
command, the value that is received last by the CTS takes precedence.
To set this
threshold...
Use any of these fields in the MODE SELECT command...

Read Buffer Empty Ratio—Byte 05
(these values must be equal)
