Ask for confirmation
closing the Device
Configuration window
If checked (default), PortVision DX always asks if you want to save
the current configuration before closing the Properties window.
It does not matter if something has been changed or not, PortVision
DX will always ask if you want to save the current settings to a file.
Polling Interval
Use this option to change the Polling Interval (default is 120
seconds). Acceptable polling intervals range from any value from 0
through 43200 seconds (0 –12 hours).
If you set the polling interval to 0 (zero), polling is disabled
completely.
If you select any value that causes an overlap in polling cycles,
PortVision DX optimizes that value to avoid any system resource
problem or system crash. This optimization happens during the
process and will not affect your selected value.
