Setting Background Initialization Rate
Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.
The Set Background Initialization Rate task changes the amount of system resources dedicated to the background
initialization task.
The background initialization rate, configurable between 0% and 100%, represents the percentage of the system
resources dedicated for running the background initialization task. At 0%, the background initialization has the lowest
priority for the controller, takes maximum time to complete, and has the least impact to system performance. A
background initialization rate of 0% does not mean that the background initialization is stopped or paused.
At 100%, the background initialization is the highest priority for the controller. The background initialization time is
minimized and has the most impact to system performance.
