[Page]ScanTime

Note: This parameter is modified by the Computer Setup Wizard as well as the Computer Setup Editor. Any value you enter into your project parameters will be overridden by that specified in the Wizard.

The Page ScanTime determines how often (in milliseconds) the Animator refreshes a graphics page at runtime.

A value of 250 indicates that the Animator will refresh the page 4 times per second.

Under some conditions, you might want to slow the update of your pages to reduce the CPU load on the Client computer. For example, you might want faster response on your main operator computers, while slowing the response time on manager computers.

Allowable Values: 1 to 60000 (milliseconds)

Default Value: 250

Note the following:

You can dynamically change this value (for this computer) by calling PageSetInt(-2, <scantime>). You can also find out what the current scan time is, by calling PageGetInt(-2).
You can set this value (for this computer) using the Computer Setup Wizard.
You can set the Page ScanTime for individual graphics pages, using the Page Properties (from the File menu in the Graphics Builder).
