[WriteLog] WL Hardware Handshaking?

[Steve Woodruff]

Hi Eric, Joe,

In the writelog.ini file, under the [configuration] section, you can set

RigPollInterval=300

or any other number... where this number represents the polling interval in
milliseconds.  The manual states that the default value is 500 milliseconds.

Thanks,

Steve N9OH
