Sort Scan List by different criteria. The firmware will scan the devices based on the order they are displayed

or sorted. There are four ways to sort the scan list:

a. By Local Address – Sorts the list by local register address in increasing order.

b. By Target Address – Sorts the list by target register address in increasing order.

c. By Device Name – Sorts by device name, then target address.

d. Interleave Devices – This sort evenly distributes request among the different devices. Instead of

requesting 100 blocks from device A, then 100 blocks from device B, one requests is sent to device A,

then one request is sent to device B until all the data has been requested. This is useful for devices

that may have a timeout timer because the time between each scan for a particular device is min-

imized. This sorting options usually doesn’t affect performance.
