The default setting is False, which makes ACM follow the OPC specification for data updates. If OPC clients request a read from field devices while this setting is True, ACM will update OPC clients with data from its internal cache instead of polling field devices for data. Contact technical support if you believe this alternate behavior will benefit your application.
