5.1.2 Scan Options
During Wi-Fi scan operation, the WINC sends probe request Wi-Fi frames and
waits for the scan wait time to receive probe response frames in the current
Wi-Fi channel. After the scan wait time, the WINC switches to the next
channel. Increasing the scan wait time increases the possibility to detect
more number of access points during scan operation but this leads to more
power consumption and overall scan duration. The WINC firmware default scan
wait time is optimized to provide the tradeoff between the power consumption
and scan accuracy. The WINC firmware provides flexible configuration options
to allow the host MCU application to set the scan time.
