What does the selective mode do in relation to circuit power?

The selective mode specifically routes circuit power to the selected station, allowing that particular station to receive power while other stations are either inactive or not receiving power at that time. This mode is useful in scenarios where energy efficiency and targeted control over which devices are powered are essential.

By enabling the power to be directed specifically to the chosen station, it minimizes energy wastage and can improve the overall efficiency of the system. It is particularly relevant in environments where multiple devices may be connected, but only one or a few need to operate at any given moment.

This targeted approach contrasts with distributing power evenly or powering all stations simultaneously, which might lead to unnecessary power consumption. Additionally, while shutting down unselected stations can be a component of a broader power management strategy, it is not the primary function of the selective mode, which focuses on directing power rather than merely turning off other stations.
