Report frequency timers
7 Sending Data to Your Network Application
The fast rate timer only becomes active when an alarm condition is triggered by a rise or drop in the level of one of the digital I/O channels. The default for the fast rate timer is three seconds
If the GPS timer is set to 0, the reporting interval is determined by the configuration of the GPS module. If the module is configured for TAIP, you can issue TAIP commands to change the interval. An advantage of configuring the report frequency with TAIP commands is that the interval between reports can be based on elapsed time and/or distance travelled
