Thanks for reply. I have talk to Vudentz at #blues and now know that
both sets of Tmin and Tmax are hardcoded. He also said me that I can use
software scheduler, so I do.
Also he said that API's interval is longer (min 16, max 24) because
there is name resolution feature.
So, I wonder - why this feature is not optional? I think not all
application need name resolution. Another idea (Vudentz's idea) is to
hardcode min 10 to API - if chip is smart it will able to end work earlier.

Hi Ilya,
The hcitool application uses the HCI library function hci_send_req()
to send a periodic inquiry request to the controller. The max and min
periods are hardcoded to 16 and 10 respectively, and there is no user
option to change those. In the case of your python script I can't tell
you for sure because I haven't looked at the code of the python BlueZ
bindings, but if the API call it presents to you has no Tmin and Tmax
that means it's hardcoded there too. The bluetoothd (formerly called
hcid) has absolutely nothing to do with the hcitool since this tool
bypasses it completely. For python, you should look at the code for
the bindings and find out how the API implementation handles your call.

Oops. Mistake. Right is: 'max 24 min 16 lap 0x9e8b33 len 8 num 0'
(StartDiscovery) and 'max 16 min 10 lap 0x9e8b33 len 8 num 0' (hcitool)

Hi
I'm developing an application for bluecasting. So period of periodic
inquire is important for me.
AFAIK, inquire process takes 10.24 seconds (Bluetooth 2.0). But if I
use StartDiscovery method in python script, then I see this in hcidump:
< HCI Command: Periodic Inquiry Mode (0x01|0x0003) plen 9
max 24 min 16 lap 0x9e8b33 len 8 num 0
and I get "Inquiry Complete" event every ~24-30 second. But if I use
'hcitool spinq', then I see:
< HCI Command: Periodic Inquiry Mode (0x01|0x0003) plen 9
max 24 min 16 lap 0x9e8b33 len 8 num 0
and "Inquiry Complete" event takes place every ~13-15 seconds. And
in both cases all remote devices is being founded, so I don't see
any reason for longer inquiring. AFAIK HCID internally sets Tmin and
Tmax parameters, but is there any way to affect to its 'decision'?
P.S. Excuse me for my English :(
