Feature: Using Secondary Poll Rates
With the SI7 I/O driver, you can specify a secondary poll rate. The driver polls a
datablock at its secondary poll rate once its access time expires. The driver remains
polling at the secondary poll rate until there is another request for data from
FIX/iFIX.
Using this feature, you can enter a secondary poll rate that is longer than the primary
poll rate. This configuration lets you reduce CPU time and communication requests
to the process hardware, while ensuring that the datablock is always polled.
Feature: Phasing Poll Rates
Phasing staggers the times at which the I/O driver scans your datablocks. This feature
prevents overruns that may occur when the I/O driver cannot collect all the data at the
specified poll rate. Use phasing to maximize the efficiency of your driver.
How It Works
By specifying a phase, you delay the driver’s first attempt to read data from the
datablock. When the phase time expires, the driver resumes reading the datablock at
the specified primary or secondary poll rate. Make sure the phase you enter is shorter
than the primary or secondary poll rate of the datablock.

Feature: Enabling or Disabling Individual Channels, Devices,
and Datablocks
You can enable or disable messaging to channels, devices, or datablocks at any time.
This is a very useful feature for debugging, maintenance, and for making preliminary
configurations.
