Polling Frequency [1/10 sec]:

For a small number of devices, it is necessary for the surveillance system to regularly check the state of the devices’ input ports in order to detect whether input has been received. Such state checking at regular intervals is called polling.

The [Polling Frequency] field lets you specify the interval between state checks. Interval is specified in tenths of a second.

For I/O devices it is highly recommended that the polling frequency is set to the lowest possible value.

For information about which devices require polling see the instruction manual of input/output device.
