Scan modes

Cron-defined scan modes are utilized in OIBus to retrieve or send data from South connectors at specific dates and intervals.

There are six default scan modes:

• Every second: (* * * * * *)
• Every 10 seconds: (/10 * * * *)
• Every minute: (0 * * * * *), running every minute at precisely 0 seconds.
• Every 10 minutes: (0 /10 * * *), running every 10 minutes at precisely 0 seconds.
• Every hour: (0 0 * * * *), running every hour at precisely 0 seconds.
• Every 24 hours: (0 0 0 * * *), running every day at midnight exactly.

You have the option to create your custom scan modes by adding one, assigning it a name, and specifying the Cron expression. You can test your Cron expression using the following website: https://crontab.cronhub.io/.
