Shared Variables: network publishing period vs LogosXT timer

[Lysandros]

Hello together,

according to the white paper https://www.ni.com/en/support/documentation/supplemental/06/using-the-labview-shared-variable.html on shared variables, the variables are made available to the network  when the 10-ms timer of the LogosTX is fired. However, in the labview project, I can set the "Network Publishing Period" manually. How are they related to each other? Is the network publishing period restricted to the 10-ms of the shared variable engine?

Best wishes

Hi  Lysandros89,

I checked it with LabVIEW 2017 and it coerces the Network Publishing Period to 10ms when I input value lower than that.

Do you need to update shared variables in shorter period? Can you explain how you want to use this information?

Best Regards,

Maciej

Hi and thanks for your respose.

I was wondering how the publishing perion can be set by two different methods, but now it makes sense.

The data are transfered through the network only for monitoring/parameter adjustment, so it is not time critical.
