Chapter 7 Develop Applications
If you use the default time slice of 20%, the system overhead interrupts the
continuous task every 4 ms.
If you increase the time slice to 50%, the system overhead interrupts the
continuous task every 1 ms.
If the controller contains only a periodic task(s), the system overhead time slice
value has no effect. System overhead runs whenever a periodic task is not
running.
