Polling interval [1/10] second
For a small number of hardware devices, primarily dedicated
input/output devices (see "About dedicated input/output devices" on
page 58), it is necessary for XProtect Enterprise to regularly check
the state of the hardware devices' input ports in order to detect
input. Such state checking at regular intervals is called polling. You
can specify (in tenths of a second) the interval between state
checks. Default value is 10 tenths of a second (that is one second).
For dedicated input/output devices, it is highly recommended that
the polling frequency is set to the lowest possible value (one tenth
of a second between state checks). For information about which
hardware devices require polling, see the release note.
