StartUpdating(TimeSpan?)

Starts continuously sampling the sensor

This method also starts raising Changed events and IObservable subscribers getting notified. Use the readIntervalDuration parameter to specify how often events and notifications are raised/sent.

Declaration

public override void StartUpdating(TimeSpan? updateInterval)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
TimeSpan?	updateInterval	A TimeSpan that specifies how long to wait between readings. This value influences how often *Updated events are raised and IObservable consumers are notified.

Overrides

SamplingSensorBase<Voltage>.StartUpdating(TimeSpan?)
