FILE_CHECK_DURATION_IN_MILLISECONDS
NUMERIC, integer number of milliseconds
During instrument file capture, to ensure a file is fully copied before is is processed for result upload, at the start of determination, the file size and file modification date is determined by the system, then the system sleeps for a period denoted by this preference and wakes up after that, the file size and file modification date is determined again by the system. If the two determinations do not match, the file is ignored and the system sleeps for another period then wakes for another determination, etc. When the two determinations match, the capture process starts. When dealing with a network file system, often there are network latency issues, such that, the operating system delays the size and modified time statistics updates.
- When not specified, the default value is 1500.
This preference is not cached, in which case, if there is a sudden network in the laboratory, users can easily change the preference.
Typically the preference is not set at role or user level.
