Event Response Times
The following table provides some metrics on how long common Micro operations take.
An event response time is defined as the maximum time from the end of a command (end
of the last bit in the serial stream) or event (e.g. power up) to the response event the
command or event causes.

Power Up
Application Active (with
CRC check)
1500
This longer power up period should only
occur for the first boot with new firm-
ware.

Once the firmware CRC has been veri-
fied subsequent power ups do not
require the CRC check be performed,
saving time.
