- Poll Groups

This section provides background information on Poll Groups. For related procedures, see the step-by-step section.

Poll Groups allow you to assign different polling intervals to individual data points. They also enable values to be polled more or less frequently. For example, by reducing the polling interval for values that do not need to be polled frequently, network traffic can be reduced.

The Poll Groups workspace allows you to create new poll groups, modify poll intervals of existing poll groups, and delete poll groups.
