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.
