Poll Groups

A Poll Group is a set of related commands, all executed at the same poll interval. For each Poll Group in the Poll Table (lparAimPollTable) three corresponding entries in the respective Poll Group section are stored. The following example shows the Basic Poll Group:

<Basic>

<PollDefault>5</PollDefault>
<PollSpecific>30,30</PollSpecific>
<PollInstances>4,6</PollInstances>

</Basic>

PollDefault

Stores the default poll interval (in minutes) to apply to all instances, except those instances listed in PollInstances (listing the indices of the instances).

PollSpecific

Stores a list of poll intervals (in minutes) to apply one-to-one to the corresponding list of instances stored in PollInstances.

Note: Initially PollSpecific and PollInstances are empty.
