Query: merge consecutive detections

[jezharringtonhayes]

What is the definition of 'consecutive' here? Does a subsequent detection need to occur within e.g. 3 seconds of the last one in order to be considered consecutive? Or is there no time limit, and in a one-hour recording with 10 evenly-spaced dections of the same species, they would all be bundled into one detection (assuming 'merge consecutive detections' were set to 10)?
