Property Name

Description

SuppressPollingIfBound

This property determines if polling will be turned off for

monitor points whose target network variable is bound to

the host device. If

True

, polling will be turned off. In this

case, polling will be turned off even if the monitor point

does not use bound updates, as long as the target

network variable is bound to the host device through
some other means.

For example, if an network variable is explicitly

connected to a dynamic network variable on the Network

Service Device (perhaps via a fan-in connection), bound
updates from that network variable will be reported on

all the network variable monitor points monitoring the

output network variable, and if the

SuppressPollingIfBound

property is True, the output

network variable will not be polled.

Default Value: True

ThrottleInterval

This property contains the default throttle interval for

network variable updates for the set. This sets the
maximum interval between successive

OnNvMonitorPointUpdateEvent

or

OnMsgMonitorPointUpdateEvent

events that can be

generated by the monitor set.

If multiple updates are received within the throttle

interval, LNS will not fire a second event until the

throttle interval has expired, and will then fire an event

for the last update received. Thus, if this property is non-
zero and multiple updates are received within this

interval, events will only be fired for the first and last
updates. And so some updates may be lost. This value

should never be greater than the polling interval, since

that would guarantee that some polled updates would be
lost, and would waste network bandwidth.

Default Value: For permanent monitor sets, the default

value for this property is 1000ms. The default value for

temporary monitor sets is set to match the value of the
DsPollInterval property.

UseAsyncSend

Use this property to determine whether or not LNS will

wait for a completion code to return after updating the

value of a monitor point, before returning to the user and
sending its next update message. If

True

, LNS will not

wait for a completion code.

Default Value: False
