    Note

    Update Rate may not be 0 (ms)! The default value of 200 ms is suitable value of many applications. The adjustment for the Update Rate depends on the number of symbols (variables). For a big number of sysmbols it can be better to increase the update rate.

    The checkbox Enable logging allows a later diagnosis.
