Your project’s scan interval is the frequency at which the Pointe Controller unit

project. You can set the scan interval and other project preferences by using the
Preferences window.
To set your project’s scan interval:
1. From the Edit menu, choose Preferences. The Preferences window will
appear.
2. Change the preferences as needed:
Logic Solve scan interval – The frequency at which the controller
resolves the charts that make up your project. (Default: 10 msecs)
Monitor update interval – The frequency at which the controller
sends runtime data back to an attached PointeControl Monitor.
(Default: 250 msecs)
Controller timeout interval – The time at which the controller will
stop execution, if communications with an attached PointeControl
Monitor are interrupted and cannot be reestablished. (Default: 5000
msecs)
Download source to controller – The option to download the
project’s source code to the controller along with the compiled
program, so that the project may later be uploaded from the
controller back to an attached PointeControl Monitor for debugging.
