does deadband work for the AI-100

[scharppe]

Is the deadband setting suposed to work for the AI-100? I have tried the following code and the UpdateRate seems to work but the DeadBand setting has no effect DeadCWDS_AI7.ConnectTo "opc://localhost/National Instruments.OPCFieldPoint/FP Res\FP-AI-100 @7\Channel 0?UpdateRate=1000&DeadBand=50", cwdsReadAutoUpdate
Which setting takes precedence. Will the UpdateRate fire an event if the criteria for the DeadBand setting not been met?
Thanks in advance for your help,

It really depends on which FP Network Module.

Here is some info on how Fieldpoint OPC Server works:

Serial (includes FP-10xx series)
====================
No Deadbanding at all.
Poll rate (Either Update Rate Setup with the OPC subscriptions or the Advise Rate (default) in FieldPoint Explorer channel configuration.


Ethernet (includes FP-16xx and FP-20xx)
=====================
Deadband and Update Rate both work.
However, Update rate is the Maximum Rate that data will be updated. For example if I have a Deadband = 0 and my data is changing every 1 second, and I choose my Update rate = 10 seconds. I will get new data exactly once per 10 seconds.
