MODIFY-MEASUREMENT-PERIODS Statements for SM2 administrators
ONLINE-PERIOD = *SAME-AS-OFFLINE
The online cycle is the same as for background monitoring. This setting is the optimum
setting for internal management of data. If the online cycle is not required for a longer period
of time, this offline setting is selected.
ONLINE-PERIOD = <integer 10..3600>
Defines an online cycle in seconds.
Note
If the same value is selected for OFFLINE-PERIOD and ONLINE-PERIOD, this is not
the equivalent of "ONLINE-PERIOD = *SAME-AS-OFFLINE". What is does mean is
that internally separate buffers are maintained and provided with data. For reasons
relating to the system load, such a parameter setting should be avoided.
SAMPLING-PERIOD =
Changes the sampling cycle during which samples are taken of some of the SM2 monitored
variables.
SAMPLING-PERIOD = *UNCHANGED
The sampling cycle remains unchanged. At program start time, this value is set to 800 milli-
seconds.
SAMPLING-PERIOD = <integer 200..10000>
Defines a sampling cycle in milliseconds. Values which are entered are rounded down to
multiples of 100 (milliseconds).
