does the Digi XLR PRO consume power (current) when not transmitting/receiving?

XBee & XBee Gateway XLR PRO

How much power (current) is required when the Digi XLR PRO is not transmitting or receiving, that is, when it’s in idle mode?

2

When the XLR is not transmitting, it is in an Idle/Receive state.

3

Both the datasheet and Product Manual list the receive current at various voltage levels.

Thanks Michael, but I don’t see the idle current in the docs.
And another question,
When the XLR PRO go into idle mode, how long does it take for it to be able to transmit/receive again? For example, I know that Spread Spectrum systems require that the transmitter and receiver continually be operating to keep in sync, consuming power continuously. Is there a similar restraint and “problem” on the XLR PRO?
Thanks, John

I was adding on to what mvut said:
“When the XLR is not transmitting, it is in an Idle/Receive state.”

The Receive current is listed in the datasheet and manual. Transmit is an active state, Receive is a passive, or idle state.

To elaborate on what Michael is stating, Digi’s Idle mode is also its receive mode as if the product is not transmitting or in a sleep state, it is actively listening on all ports including serial and RF.
