3.4.2.3 Flash frequencies
Numeric
value
Flash frequency
0 0.5 Hz
1 2 Hz
2 8 Hz
Note
Since the flashing is performed by means of software engineering, the flash frequency is both
system-dependent and hardware-bound (number of objects, processor speed, RAM size,
update time etc.).
The information in the table is therefore only for orientation purposes.
