OmniServer Topic "Write Delay" and "Update Interval"
What are the "Write Delay" and "Update Interval" properties within an OmniServer topic?
Update Interval
This defines the time (in milliseconds) in which OmniServer will attempt to read all items within the protocol (the performance is limited to the practical limitations of the physical hardware).
Write Delay
The Write Delay is the number of milliseconds OmniServer will wait after the last operation that sends data to the device before writing again. For an example, if the Write Delay has been set to 1000 milliseconds:
OmniServer then does a "Read" host message. Since the "Request" potion of the Read message sends data to the device, OmniServer will then wait 1000 milliseconds before sending data again to the device - even if you trigger off a Write Message. Writes occur with Requests of Host Messages and Responses of Unsolicited Messages.
