Server Preferences - Refresh Rates

Acquire™ updates its values in two ways. The first is how often it fetches values from the flowcomputer and the second is how often it updates the web site.

The following settings are available in the Refresh Rates tab:

Field	Description
Refresh Field Values In Editors	This slider lets you decide how often Acquire™ updates the P&ID and data screens on the Acquire server. By default this is set to 1 second.
Refresh Data On Website	Web browsers must request data from the server and therefore to receive updates the browser must constantly ask the server if there have been any updates. By default this is set to 5 seconds. Warning: Making this value too small can have an impact on the browser and may cause it too fail, especially if the next update is sent before the reply has been set. It is recommended that this value be set no less than 5 seconds, unless fast machines are being used on a fast network.
Refresh Chart On Website	Just as with the data, the browser must make a request for a new chart graphic. For optimal performance this should be set to be equal or greater than the sample period for the chart otherwise the same chart may be sent more than once! The default setting is 15 seconds.
