Use the NTRATE command to establish the broadcast rate for VARSHO information packets to other 6K units. With NTRATE0, broadcasting and listening to other units that are broadcasting is disabled. With a value > 0, it is enabled. A rate of 50 is recommended. All sharing units should have the same NTRATE. NTRATE is not accepted unless the 6K is operating in NTFEN1 mode.
Each 6K unit internally updates its VARSHO data at the System Update Rate (2 milliseconds); therefore, the NTRATE command must be set to a value of ≥ 2 milliseconds. If you lengthen the System Update Rate (see SYSPER), increase the NTRATE value accordingly.
