# Sensor Read Period

The SensorReadPeriod field defines the node logging interval.

<figure><img src="/files/K69ZkZ8EWWwX6Bkji7BD" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

This value can be set from the gateway interface, but please remember that Boomerang will not be in sync with this setting and will overwrite it with its own value if this is changed in Boomerang.&#x20;

| Value | Log interval |
| ----- | ------------ |
| 0     | 5 sec        |
| 1     | 10 sec       |
| 2     | 15 sec       |
| 3     | 30 sec       |
| 4     | 1 min        |
| 5     | 2 min        |
| 6     | 5 min        |
| 7     | 10 min       |
| 8     | 15 min       |
| 9     | 30 min       |
| 10    | 1 hour       |

&#x20;

The shortest log interval in Boomerang is 1 minute (value = 4).&#x20;

A node can be set temporarily to 15 or 30 seconds for RSSI measurements or other tests, but such settings must not be used in normal operation.

To set the SensorReadPeriod click on the “Write” button on that row, enter the new value, and click “Ok”. The value will be updated the next time the node communicates with the gateway.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.boomerang3.com/win-gateway-installation-manual/node-information/sensor-read-period.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
