Property Value

This property is normally only used when you need the concentrator to send data at faster than real-time speeds, e.g., faster than the defined FramesPerSecond. A use case would be pushing historical data through the concentrator where you want to sort and publish data as quickly as possible.

With the exception of the values of -1 and 0, this value specifies the desired processing interval for data, e.g., a timer interval, over which to process data. A value of -1 means to use the default processing interval, i.e., use the FramesPerSecond, while a value of 0 means to process data as fast as possible.

From a real-time perspective the ConcentratorBase defines its general processing interval based on the defined FramesPerSecond property. The frames per second property, however, is more than a basic processing interval since it is used to define the intervals in one second that will become the time sorting destination "buckets" used by the concentrator irrespective of the data rate of the incoming data. As an example, if the frames per second of the concentrator is set to 30 and the source data rate is 60fps, then data will be down-sampled to 30 frames of sorted incoming data but the assigned processing interval will be used to publish the frames at the specified rate.

The implemented functionality of the process interval property will be to respond to values in the following way:
