The Live data refresh rate is the rate that live data refreshes including the hardware panel and channel panel when a digital display test is running. Set the refresh rate between 0 and 10 times per second. A value of zero causes no updates to take place. If live data values are not required, it is highly recommended to set the refresh rate to zero to avoid large overheads for tests with a large number of channels.
NOTE
If a channel sample rate is less than the refresh rate, the value is only updated at the lower sample rate.
