Subscription Poll Rate Modify
« on: May 08, 2019, 09:43:43 AM »
Hello,

I am already subscribed to an address and reading data at 100ms rate.
How can I modify the subscription poll rate to 50ms while the subscription is running?
If I re-subscribe with the new poll rate would I have 2 separate subscriptions running or would the new one replace the old one?

Thanks.

Archie

Each driver instance is only capable of a single poll rate. If you want different poll rates, simply create multiple instances of the driver.

I see.. So the poll rate is per driver not per subscription.

If this is the case, then why do I have to specify a poll rate in the .subscribe function?

The subscribe is already tied to a driver that has a preset poll rate why set another poll rate for the subscribe function?

The poll rate parameter in the subscribe call does nothing. That was a leftover parameter for a customer specific project where they wanted a certain driver to be able to poll each subscription at different rates. It was a very extensive modification and not implemented in other drivers. The only thing that does something is the PollRateOverride property.
