What is the difference between a background scanning channel and continuous scanning mode?
Background scanning channel is a special channel type that operates similar to a low priority search mode; however, instead of acquiring a master, ANT will pass the data to the host and continue searching, allowing the ANT node to continue finding other ANT masters without interrupting any other open channels. This is different from an ANT node in continuous scanning mode, where the node foregoes all synchronous channelization and begins to operate asynchronously, allowing it to receive all data from multiple nodes operating on the same network and RF frequency.
