TxTimer
Summary Sets the value of the transmit timer used for network
management messages.
You can use this property to specify the interval between
between retries for acknowledged (lcaSvcAckd) and request
(lcaSvcRequest) messages sent during network
management operations. LNS retries message transmissions
when no acknowledgment of (or response to) an original
message is received
This interval applies to network management messages only.
To set this interval for monitor and control messages for
temporary monitor points, use the DsTxTimer property.
To set this interval for monitor and control messages for
permanent monitor points, use the ConnectDescTemplate
object’s TransmitTimer property for connections involving
those monitor points.
Availability Local, full, and lightweight clients.
Syntax timerValue = systemObject. TxTimer
Element Description
repeatTimerValue The encoded value of the repeat timer.
The default value for this property is
determined based on the network
topology. It is recommended that you
do not change this from the default
value. If the default value is not
suitable for your application, it is
recommended that you use the Delay
property of each Channel object on the
network to ensure that each message
is sent at the correct interval.
However, this property does accept a
range of encoded values from 0 to 15.
The encoded repeat timer values are
as follows:
Encoded Value Seconds
0 0.016
1 0.024
2 0.032
3 0.048
4 0.064
