Selecting the GAP Factor
The Setup menu allows you to select the GAP Factor for the TD 200. This setting
tells the TD 200 how often to check for other network master devices. The default
setting of 10 causes the TD 200 to check once every 10 messages. A setting of 1
would cause the TD 200 to check for other masters after every message.
