Added to API This depends on the object used to access the property.
Generally, this property exists for the objects listed above as
soon as they are added to the API. See the applicable object
to determine what release it was introduced in.
EventInterval
Summary The interval between event requests.
This property sets the interval at which OpenLNS will call
the GetNextEvent service for your Lightweight Client
application. Each time LNS calls the GetNextEvent service,
your Lightweight Client application will receive a TCP
messag containing all the events it has registered for that
have occurred since the last time the service was called.
Consider a case where this property is set to the default
value of 1 second. OpenLNS will call the GetNextEvent
service every second. The application will receive the events
it has registered for immediately after the service has been
called, or as soon as the events occur after the service has
been called. For example, say LNS calls the GetNextEvent
service, but no events occur for another 750 ms. The
application will receive those events at 750 ms, and will
make the next GetNextEvent request 250 ms later.
If no events occur before the interval defined by the
