Set Scan Engine Period Details

Changing the scan period while the scan engine is running can take a significant amount of time, and might cause the scan engine to run late, resulting in a major fault. If changing the scan period results in a fault, you can safely clear the fault after the new scan period takes effect.

Note  If the target includes an expansion I/O driver, you can set the scan period only when the NI Scan Engine is in Configuration Mode. You can use the Set Scan Engine Mode VI before this VI to put the NI Scan Engine on the target into Configuration Mode.
