In the default Run-to-Completionmode, the length of the system communications window is limited to 50 milliseconds. If an intelligent option module makes a request that requires more than 50 milliseconds to process, the request is spread out over multiple sweeps so that no one sweep is impacted by more than 50 milliseconds.
