When the Ace application is running it constantly scans the components. The scan frequency is configurable. Setting the Scan “Level” is how you configure the frequency of component scanning. See the Scan Period property (50ms default) in the App property sheet view.

  • Scan Level 1 (not visible) uses the configured Scan Period rate.
  • Scan Levels 2-4 (values are 2, 4, 8 default), where the specified value is a multiplier of the configured Scan Period value.
For example, Level 2 has a value of 2 which means it will scan every 100ms ( 2 x 50ms). This is useful if you have components that you want to have operate very quickly to be responsive.

Scan Period 50 ms (default) Sets the scan frequency. This value is the basis for the Scans Level 1–4. Scan Level 1 always uses this scan frequency.

Scans Level 1 (not visible) 1 Uses the configured Scan Period value (50 ms, by default).
Scans Level 2 2 (default) Uses the configured Scan Period value and applies this multiplier to determine the scan frequency. For example, Scans Level 2 scans every 100 ms (2 x 50 ms). Range is 1–65534.
Scans Level 3 4 (default) Uses the configured Scan Period value and applies this multiplier to determine the scan frequency. Range is 1–65534.
Scans Level 4 8 (default) Uses the configured Scan Period value and applies this multiplier to determine the scan frequency. Range is 1–65534.
