Polling the Device only when Data is Being
Accessed
To poll the device only when data is being accessed
[1] From the I/O Driver Power Tool Tree Browser, select the datablock that you
want to modify.
[2] Enter DISABLED in the Secondary Rate field or clear the Secondary Rate
check box.
[3] Enter a value in the Access Time field. Do not enter DISABLED in the field.
[4] In the Primary Rate field, enter a value that is close to the data’s update rate in
the device.
Also, set the access time to be longer than the phase time or the datablock will not be
polled and the access time will expire before the phase begins.

Setting up Security to use the I/O Server
Remotely
The I/O Server supports DCOM (Distributed Component Object Model). If you want
to grant only certain users permission to launch or access the SI7 I/O Server, you can
use the Windows NT utility, DCOMCNFG.EXE, for configuring DCOM
applications. DCOMCNFG.EXE is usually located in your Windows \system32
directory. Under Windows 2000, you can use the Component Services in the
Administrative Tools folder. This folder resides in Control Panel.
IMPORTANT: We recommend that you allow client applications such as the
FIX/iFIX or the I/O Driver Power Tool to automatically start the I/O Server rather
than opening the Server independently from the Windows environment. This is the
intended method for Server start-up.
