You can change the WL poll time (in ms)
[Configuration]
RigPollInterval=150

Subject: [WriteLog] WL & CW Skimmer
About a week ago a question was posed about the use of the new CW Skimmer
program & WL at the same time.
I found the CW Skimmer program to be quite interesting . So I downloaded the
CW Skimmer Software from the DX Atlas web site. I run a FT-1000mp and the
rig only uses the one CAT port. So trying to communicate with two (2)
applications through 1 comm port just would not work.
So I downloaded a trial version of a Serial Port Splitter which created two
virtual comm ports #4 for the 1000mp & #5 for CW Skimmer, tied them to the
real com port #2. And after un checking the auto poll setting for the rig
WL's port setup for the rig. IT WORKS! Both applications get data from the
1000mp at the same time.
Now for the draw back.
You can not use the band map because WL doesn't constantly poll the rig for
information. The only time it does the polling is when WL checks for a dupe!
It does at that time assign the current freq.
to the QSO. And it does not interrupt the CW Skimmer.
But the band map is useless, however the CW Skimmer can also be used kind of
like a band map.
Now the question.
Is there a way to slow down the polling of the rig.
Perhaps with a setting in the ini.file. The problem with leaving the polling
box checked if that it is constantly polling so it jumps all over the place
in only WL?
Thanks
