Register under the description for Multiplexing Mode and Bank Number.
****The default is that the module update as fast as possible. This register allows the user to set in milliseconds the
update rate. For example, a 60 in this register will cause each bank to be updated in 60miliseconds. Since there are
four banks (in the 8 channel module) the total update time will be 240ms. In the four channel module the update
time would be 120ms.
