If you set the MDEL field to "-1" you will get an update every time the PV processes, regardless if the value changed or not.

Hello,

I am using a Channel Access client to monitor a list of PVs.

A few of them are temperature values that don't change frequently.

However, I would like to receive a value from these PVs even if the value hasn't changed to ensure the sensor is still operational.

Is there a way to do this?

I read something about a "rate guarantee", but have seen no information about how to change it.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
