= StartRepeatIO =
Start repeating communications from main board to report weights, I/O status, and optionally input counters.

{{{
int StartRepeatMulti(uint32 interval, struct mnbd_multi_rep_counters_struct& counters);
}}}

{{{
int StartRepeatMulti(uint32 interval, struct mnbd_multi_rep_counters_struct* counters = NULL);
}}}

== Parameters ==

 * interval - update interval in milliseconds
 * counters - structure to define any DIO counters to be reported

== Return Value ==

 * Returns the result - OK success

== Remarks ==

The main board or option card must already be opened by calling OpenMnBd first. The call does a wait for acknowledgement. If the application is using main board communication events these events may be called during the wait for acknowledgement.

== Examples ==

{{{
if(StartRepeatMulti(100) == OK)
    DisplayText(0, 0, "Wt and I/O 10 times per second");
}}}

{{{
int bd = 1;
int inp = 8;

SetDIOCounter(bd, inp, dioSetCount, 0, WAIT_ACK);
SetDIOCounter(bd, inp, dioSetPrescaler, 1, WAIT_ACK);
SetDIOCounter(bd, inp, dioSetCountUp, 0, WAIT_ACK);
SetDIOCounter(bd, inp, dioSetCountLowToHigh, 0, WAIT_ACK);
